Answer to Question 1

A, D, E
Genetic factors that increase the risk of developing diabetes include the number and genetic closeness of relatives with diabetes, as well as race. BMI and sedentary lifestyle are not genetic factors.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, D
Determining the cast material will inform the nurse of how quickly the cast can be expected to dry. The cast should be supported with the palms of the hands rather than holding it with the fin-gers. The heat of the drying cast should be evaluated to prevent skin irritation. A grayish color indicates that the cast is still wet.

It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
