Answer to Question 1

B
Meglitinides, such as nateglinide (Starlix), act by helping the pancreas release insulin. The use of sitagliptin (Januvia), a dipeptidyl-peptidase-4 inhibitor, is indicated for type 2 diabetes mellitus and acts by improving glucose-dependent insulin synthesis, lowering glucagon secretion and slowing gastric emptying. Metformin (Glucophage) acts by decreasing the release of glucose from the liver. Thiazolidinediones, such as rosiglitazone (Avandia), act by enhancing insulin sensitivity with hepatic glucose metabolism and by enhancing insulin-receptor kinase activity and phosphorylation.

Answer to Question 2

B, C, D, F
A characteristic of a person-centered culture is family and resident councils to discuss resident issues, needs, and solutions. A second characteristic of a person-centered culture is residents choosing their own activities to suit their interests. A third characteristic of a person-centered culture is a responsive staff that promptly meets resident needs. A fourth characteristic of a per-son-centered culture is assisting residents to maintain their appearance and to stay well-groomed. Consistent nursing assignments are a characteristic of a person-centered culture. Predetermined schedules are characteristic of an institution-centered culture.
