Sample itemWhat is a key modifiable factor in diabetic retinopathy prevention?
Original practice item, not a recalled exam question. Nothing here is recorded.
The answer and the reasoning
C. Good glycemic control
The defining Retina relationship supports Good glycemic control; it is the option that directly accounts for the examination finding or clinical priority in this sample.
Option by option
A. Avoiding eye examinations
Avoiding eye examinations does not explain the stated retina feature.
B. Restricting all fluids
Restricting all fluids is unsupported by the symptom pattern or examination result.
C. Good glycemic control (correct)
Correct. Good glycemic control directly fits the key clue in the scenario.
D. Using antibiotics routinely
Using antibiotics routinely can be relevant elsewhere but is not the best conclusion here.
