Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The pituitary gland may produce an overabundance of growth hormone. This overproduction of hormones may cause changes throughout the patient's body, including enlargement of the pituitary gland and hands and feet. Female patients may develop a deepened voice, increased facial hair growth, and amenorrhea.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Hypoglycemic reaction is due to not enough food for the insulin. Quick acting carbohydratessuch as orange juice or longer acting foods such as milk, crackers, and cheeseare beneficial.
