Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
In type I diabetes mellitus, the insulin deficiency is absolute, so these clients require lifelong insulin administration. Clients with type II diabetes do not require lifelong insulin injections, but they may need insulin for adequate glucose control. Gestational diabetes mellitus occurs only at the time of pregnancy and disappears after childbirth. In an impaired glucose homeostasis condition, a client's glucose levels are above normal, but not high enough to meet the criteria for diabetes; hence, it is not necessary to administer insulin lifelong.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. 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.
