Answer to Question 1

D
Many black Muslims follow the Halal diet, which means they do not eat pork or any pork products. If he tells you that he follows this diet, you should discuss it with the dietitian, who can see that he does not receive any pork or pork products. Similarly, you should request that the pharmacy provide him only with nonpork insulin. (Most insulin is made from pig pancreas.)

Answer to Question 2

D
Acute lower back pain is the most common sign of a compression fracture of the spine. Pain that radiates into the legs (response C) and loss of bladder control (response A) are more commonly related to spinal nerve compression. Abdominal discomfort (response B) is not a usual symptom of problems with the spine.
