As part of her standard pregnancy care, a young pregnant woman is given a test where she is administered glucose and then has her blood sugars checked at intervals afterward. The correct medical term for this test is:
A) thyroid scan
B) glucose tolerance test
C) postprandial blood sugar
D) fasting blood sugar
B
Explanation: If the term is not memorized, analysis of the answers can eliminate some of them. The thyroid does not relate to the test. Fasting means "not eating" and postprandial means "after eating." The glucose in the question is "administered," meaning not consumed as part of a meal.
