A 32-year-old man is complaining of burning, itching,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
photophobia, and severe pain in his right eye after |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
swimming in the ocean. To determine that the eye |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
condition is corneal rather than a conjunctival disease,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
which of the following would be the distinguishing
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
symptom?
A.) Burning |\
B.) Itching |\
c.) photophobia|\

A woman with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes has been
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
ordered by her primary care provider to have a
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
hemoglobin A1C test for the first time. The woman states, |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
"I don't see why you want to test my blood cells when it's
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
sugar that's the problem." What aspect of physiology will
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
underlie the care provider's response to the patient?
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
A.)The amount of glucose attached to A1C cells reflects
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
the average blood glucose levels over the life of the cell.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
,B)Hemoglobin synthesis by the bone marrow is inversely |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
proportionate to blood glucose levels, with low A1C |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
indicating hyperglycemia. |\
C)The high metabolic needs of red cells and their affinity
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
for free glucose indicate the amount of glucose that has
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
been available over 6 to 12 weeks.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
D)Insulin is a glucose receptor agonist on the hemoglobin|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
molecule, and high glucose suggests low insulin levels. - |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔The amount of glucose attached |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
to A1C cells reflects the average blood glucose levels over
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
the life of the cell.

A 30 year old man with a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes is
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
aware of the multiple effects that insulin has on his
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
metabolism. Which of the following physiological |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
processes are actions of insulin? - CORRECT ANSWERS |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
✔✔Facilitating triglycerides from glucose in fat cells |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
A three-year-old girl has just been diagnosed with type 1A
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
diabetes and her parents are currently receiving
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
education from the diabetes education nurse at the |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
hospital where their daughter is receiving treatment. How
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
can the nurse best explain the etiology of their
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
daughter's health problem to her parents? |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
,A.) Environmental and lifestyle factors are known to play
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
a part in the fact that her pancreas secretes and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
withholds insulin at the wrong times." |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
B.) "This tendency to produce insufficient amounts of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
insulin is likely something that she inherited."
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
C.) "It's not known exactly why your daughter has
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
completely stopped making insulin, and treatment will |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
consist of your rigidly controlling her diet."
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
D.) "The problem that underlies her diabetes is that her
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
own body has destroyed the cells in herpancreas that
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
produce insulin - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔"The problem
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
that underlies her diabetes is that her own body has
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
destroyed the cells in her pancreas that produce insulin." |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Which of the following statements best captures an
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
aspect of the role of hormones in the body?
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
A.) Some chemical substances can function as hormones
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
or be integrated with the central and peripheral nervous
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
systems.
B)Hormones directly initiate many of the processes that |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
contribute to homeostasis. |\ |\
, C)Control of body processes is ensured by the fact that a
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
single hormone can only exert one effect on one specific
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
system or tissue. |\ |\
D)Each hormone that exists in the body is produced by
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
only one specific endocrine gland. - CORRECT ANSWERS
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
✔✔Some chemical substances can function as either
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
hormones or neurotransmitters. |\ |\
