Answer to Question 1

A
Response:
Reye's syndrome is characterized by encephalopathy and liver dysfunction; therefore, increased intracranial pressure could occur. Blood glucose usually decreases and liver enzymes increase. Protein in the urine is not seen with this illness.

Answer to Question 2

C
Response:
In pregnancy, placental hormones cause insulin resistance at a level that tends to parallel growth of the fetoplacental unit. Nutritional management focuses on maintaining balanced glucose levels. Thus, the woman will probably need to make adjustments in her diet. Protein needs increase during pregnancy, but this is unrelated to diabetes. Blood glucose monitoring results typically guide therapy.
