Answer to Question 1

A
Antiretroviral therapy can cause a fat redistribution syndrome known as lipodystrophy. Hypogo-nadism is a different endocrine-related problem that can occur in patients with AIDS. Hyperlipi-demia is also associated with antiretroviral therapy, but this is not associated with changes in body composition. Wasting syndrome is generally prevented by use of antiretroviral therapy.

Answer to Question 2

C
Patients with hypogonadism experience fatigue that makes it difficult to prepare and consume food; this may contribute to malnutrition and wasting. Hypogonadism is not associated with in-creased metabolic rate, dry mouth, stomatitis, altered taste acuity, or food aversions.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
