Answer to Question 1

C
The pancreas acts as an endocrine gland, secreting insulin directly into the bloodstream, and an exocrine gland, secreting digestive enzymes through ducts.

Answer to Question 2

D
Helping patients identify and face depression is helpful in dispelling it, and talking about her concerns will open up conversation and address the concerns in a problem-solving approach. Telling her that she will be able to resume all activities may be instilling false hope. Medication is not warranted at this point.
