Answer to Question 1

B
The normal fasting blood glucose level is 60 to 99 mg/dl. A fasting glucose of 100 to 125 mg/dl is considered impaired. A fasting glucose level of > 126 mg/dl is considered overt diabetes. A fasting blood glucose level below 60 mg/dl is considered hypoglycemia.

Answer to Question 2

B
Approximately 85 of homeless people are on the streets because they have some form of mental illness or are addicted to alcohol or other drugs. Societal factors that contribute to homelessness include lack of affordable housing, increased criteria for public assistance, decreased availability of social services, inadequate or lack of employment, a history of psychosocial trauma, and deinstitutionalizat ion from mental health facilities without adequate community support.
