Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Management of diabetic nephropathy includes control of hypertension with ACE inhibitors, weight loss, reduced salt intake, and exercise. Antibiotics are not used to control diabetic nephropathy.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
The visceral neuropathies cause various manifestations, depending on the area of the autonomic nervous system involved. Gastrointestinal dysfunction caused by autonomic neuropathy causes changes in upper gastrointestinal motility, leading to dysphagia and nausea. Constipation is one of the most common gastrointestinal manifestations associated with diabetes, possibly a result of hypo-motility of the bowel. Difficulty swallowing and nausea are not specifically attributed to aging. Peripheral neuropathies affect the sensory and motor function of the extremities. Swallowing, nausea, and constipation are not adverse effects of insulin.
