Answer to Question 1

Exophthalmos is a condition associated with Graves disease, caused by hyperthyroidism. Treatment for this condition may stabilize the symptoms but does not reverse them. Hashimoto thyroiditis is condition of hypothyroidism, not hyperthyroidism. Women with this condition may have problems with fertility.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, C, D, E

Research studies have shown improvements on the 6-minute walk test of individuals with PD after participation in low-intensity and high-intensity treadmill training, strength training, and range of motion. Use of shoes with non-slip soles is advised.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
