Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

A
The increased insulin resistance that occurs during pregnancy often resolves within a few hours following delivery. Therefore, there is no need to do AccuChecks qid or resume the insulin. The other options are appropriate prescriptions by the health care provider.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. 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.
