Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c)This blood test measures the amount of glucose that has become incorporated into the hemoglobin within an erythrocyte. Because glycosylation occurs constantly during the 120-day life span of the erythrocyte, this test reveals the effectiveness of diabetes therapy for the preceding 8 to 12 weeks.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
In the case of large uterine fibroids, a vaginal hysterectomy is not an option.
