Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

Type 1 and type 2 diabetes have similar manifestations, especially polyuria and polydipsia. Polyphagia is not often seen, and weight loss is uncommon. Vision changes are seen in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

Physical inactivity is a major risk factor for type 2 DM. Patients with obesity, defined as being at least 20 over desired body weight or having a body mass index (BMI) of at least 27 kg/m2, are at major risk for type 2 DM. A blood pressure of 120/70 is normal and carries no increased risk for type 2 DM. A high waist-to-hip ratio is a risk factor for type 2 DM. A low waist-to-hip ratio carries no increased risk of the disease.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
