Q: The most common cause of hyperpituitarism is:
- hepatomegaly.
- hypercalcemia.
- pituitary adenoma.
- hyperglycemia.
A: pituitary adenoma.

Q: Excess production by the anterior pituitary gland is called:
- hyperparathyroidism.
- hyperthyroidism.
- hyperpituitarism.
- hyperglycemia.
A: hyperpituitarism.

Q: The most common cause of hyperthyroidism is:
- hyperplasia of the gland.
- benign and malignant tumors of the gland.
- pituitary gland disease.
- an autoimmune disorder.
A: an autoimmune disorder.

Q: Characteristics of acromegaly include:
- an increase in growth hormone production before the closure of long bones.
- a rapid and dramatic onset.
- thinned lips and microglossia.
- enlargement of the maxilla and mandible, resulting in separation of the teeth and malocclusion.
A: enlargement of the maxilla and mandible, resulting in separation of the teeth and malocclusion.

Q: An enlarged tongue is associated with:
- hyperpituitarism.
- hyperthyroidism.
- hypothyroidism.
- hyperparathyroidism.
A: hypothyroidism.

Q: Which of the following clinical features is associated with hyperthyroidism?
- Gigantism
- Exophthalmos
- Myxedema
- Hypercalcemia
A: Exophthalmos

Q: Hyperparathyroidism may result in bone lesions that appear microscopically to be indistinguishable from a(n):
- osteogenic sarcoma.
- osteoma.
- cemento-osseous dysplasia.
- central giant cell granuloma.
A: central giant cell granuloma.

Q: Which of the following statements is characteristic of hyperparathyroidism?
- It is characterized by low blood levels of calcium.
- It is characterized by high levels of blood phosphorus.
- Primary hyperparathyroidism occurs when calcium is abnormally excreted by the kidneys and the parathyroid glands increase their production of parathyroid hormone to maintain adequate blood levels of calcium.
- Kidney failure is the most common cause of secondary hyperparathyroidism.
A: Kidney failure is the most common cause of secondary hyperparathyroidism.

Q: Which of the following statements about type 1 diabetes is true?
- It is called non-insulin–dependent diabetes mellitus.
- About 30% of all patients with diabetes have type 1 diabetes.
- The onset of this type of diabetes is gradual and usually occurs in patients who are 35 to 40 years of age or older.
- It can be complicated by polydipsia, polyuria, and polyphagia.
A: It can be complicated by polydipsia, polyuria, and polyphagia.

Q: Insulin is manufactured by:
- fatty tissue in long bones.
- beta cells of the pancreas.
- the liver.
- the gallbladder.
A: beta cells of the pancreas.

Q: Byetta is:
- an oral product for the treatment of type 1 diabetes.
- a form of insulin derived from pigs.
- a medication that has the potential to help restore the response of the body’s insulin-producing cells.
- delivered with a pump that provides the medication on the hour over a 24-hour period.
A: a medication that has the potential to help restore the response of the body’s insulin-producing cells.

Q: Advantages of an insulin pump for therapy of type 1 diabetes include:
- blood sugar levels no longer need to be monitored.
- the pump is internal.
- the pump can maintain a more predictable control of blood sugar levels than multiple insulin injections.
- the insulin dosage with the pump is limited to once-a-day dosing.
A: the pump can maintain a more predictable control of blood sugar levels than multiple insulin injections.

Q: Which of the following statements is true concerning oral complications for adult patients with diabetes mellitus?
- Patients with diabetes mellitus have a decreased response to plaque.
- Slow wound healing and decreased susceptibility to infection occur as a result of the immunologic changes and defective collagen production.
- The gingiva can be hyperplastic and erythematous.
- Periodontal disease is not considered to be a complication of diabetes.
A: The gingiva can be hyperplastic and erythematous.

Q: The most common cause of death among patients with diabetes is:
- stroke.
- gangrene.
- heart attack.
- kidney failure.
A: heart attack.
