Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
The diagnostic tests of the pancreas are primarily to identify, confirm, and monitor glucose levels in patients with diabetes mellitus. The hemoglobin A1C is one of these tests. Hemoglobin A1C does not measure kidney or thyroid function, nor does it evaluate menopausal symptoms.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Exophthalmos, or protruding eyes, may be seen in hyperthyroidism. This is not a finding that is associated with diabetes mellitus, hypofunction of the adrenal glands, or hypofunction of the pituitary gland.
