Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Most women remain asymptomatic but may show a greenish-yellow discharge from the cervix.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The patient with diabetes should exercise regularly. Exercise can reduce insulin resistance and increase glucose uptake for as long as 72 hours, as well as reducing blood pressure and lipid levels. However, exercise can carry some risks for patients with diabetes, including hypoglycemia.
