Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

The best way for this patient to avoid illness is to maintain a healthy weight and activity level. While nutrition is a significant factor, it is not necessary to avoid carbohydrates. Daily monitoring of blood glucose levels is not indicated for this patient. It is important to take action to prevent disease and not wait for the disease to manifest.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
