Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, E
Genetic, microbiologic, metabolic, and immunologic factors influence the development of di-abetes mellitus. Allogenic refers to cells or tissues that are from different individuals in the same species.

Answer to Question 2

C
The patient currently has a viral infection; acyclovir is an antiviral drug that will decrease the virulence of the infection if started in the early phase of the infection. The drug may not kill the virus and is not given frequently to patients with viruses. Acyclovir will not strengthen the im-mune system.

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.
