Answer to Question 1

A
Prolonged periods of hyperglycemia cause damage to the retina from bleeding. Insulin does not result in visual changes in the patient with diabetes. Lens opacity and corneal dryness will not promote vision-related complications in the patient with diabetes mellitus.

Answer to Question 2

D
Immunoglobulin M (IgM) is the antibody that recognizes the foreign protein and attaches itself to it in order to clear the pathogen from the body.
