Answer to Question 1

C
Nausea and vomiting, weakness, fatigue, polyphagia, and polydipsia can all be symptoms of both HHNS and DKA. However, with DKA the breath smells fruity because of ketones. If this is ab-sent, the patient has HHNS. Hypoglycemia would be characterized by hunger, confusion, trem-bling, and erratic behavior. Hepatic encephalopathy is not associated with diabetes.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Most fruits, vegetables, and whole wheat breads provide only 1 to 3 g of fiber per serving, without a high-fiber cereal or daily intake of dried peas and beans. Many people may require a fiber supplement to meet the Dietary Reference Intake.
