Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,3,4,5
Rationale 1: Ethnicity is a risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes.
Rationale 2: Age above, not below, 45 years is a risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes.
Rationale 3: Obesity is a risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes.
Rationale 4: Race is a risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes.
Rationale 5: Family history is a risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes.
Global Rationale: Risk factors for the development of type 2 diabetes include ethnicity, obesity, race, and family history. Age above 45 is also a risk factor.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: This test does not measure the percentage of glucagon in the blood.
Rationale 2: This test does not measure the percentage of hemoglobin over time.
Rationale 3: This test does not measure the percentage of glucose in the blood.
Rationale 4: Hemoglobin A1c measures the level of blood glucose over time because glucose molecules attach to the hemoglobin molecule for the life of the RBC, which is 120 days.
Global Rationale: Hemoglobin A1c measures the level of blood glucose over time because glucose molecules attach to the hemoglobin molecule for the life of the RBC, which is 120 days. This is not a test of the percentages of glucagon, hemoglobin, or glucose in the blood.
