Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) affects calcium and phosphate metabolism. Normal levels of vitamin D are necessary for PTH to exert its effects. The blood chemistry profile is not indicative of a patient with Cushing syndrome, thyroiditis or hypothyroidism.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Values for 2-h plasma at 139 or below are considered normal. There is no indication of diabetes mellitus, hyperinsulinism or inconsistency indicating the need for further evaluation or testing.
