    This document provides two multiple choice practice questions about medical topics: 1) The first question asks about the appropriate response to a patient with possible abdominal aortic aneurysm. The best choice is to carefully monitor the patient and prepare for transport without vigorously palpating the abdomen. 2) The second question asks about the function of insulin. Insulin facilitates the uptake of glucose from the bloodstream into cells where it is used for energy. 3) The third question describes a 72-year-old woman found unresponsive in a hot home with signs of heat stroke. As she has diabetes and allergies noted on her medical alert bracelet, she should be treated for heat stroke and her known medical conditions
