Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Patients who require less than 40 units of insulin per day and who have a fasting blood glucose less than or equal to 200 mg/dL are candidates for oral antidiabetic agents. Being overweight is an indication, not a contraindication.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Iron supplements generally are not necessary until the second trimester when the fetus begins to store iron. Iron supplements are given to prevent maternal iron deficiency, not to supply the fetus. The greatest demand occurs in the third trimester.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
