Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: Poisoning is not the leading cause of injury in older adults.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: The woman who became diabetic with her last pregnancy is at risk for gestational diabetes with this pregnancy as well, and will need to be tested at 24 weeks by performing a glucose tolerance test. Other tests may also be ordered, but they are less likely than the GTT.
