Question 15

Myxedema is defined as severe and prolonged hypothyroidism in adults. Cretinism is hypothyroidism in children. Addison's disease is related to adrenal gland dysfunction, not the thyroid.

Oral hypoglycemic medications are taken by mouth. Insulin is administered via injection, not orally. Glipizide, acarbose, and rosiglitazone are oral hypoglycemic drugs.
