Answer to Question 1

C
This patient weighs 308 lb and is 5 feet tall. Diet management and exercise are interventions to facilitate weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Answer to Question 2

D
The goal with either drug is a reduction of intracranial pressure to 15 to 20 mm Hg while a mean arterial pressure of 70 to 80 mm Hg is maintained. Dilantin and Cerebyx are anticonvulsants. Mannitol is an osmotic diuretic, and nimodipine is a calcium channel blocker.
