Question:
The overall goal of achieving glycemic control in a client
taking insulin for diabetes mellitus type 1 is to meet which
outcome? Promote controlled hypoglycemia Maintain
hemoglobin A1C less than 6.5% Reduce occurrences of
hyperglycemia Prevent complications of the disease
Answer:
Prevent complications of the disease The primary goal of
treating diabetes with insulin and lifestyle changes is to
prevent both short- and long-term complications. Steps to
achieving the goal of preventing complications of the disease
include reducing the number of hyperglycemic incidences and
keeping the hemoglobin A1C less than 6.5%. The promotion
of hypoglycemia is not a goal of treating diabetes mellitus.
Question:
What is the therapeutic goal for the treatment of diabetes?
Hemoglobin A1C of 6.0% or less Hemoglobin A1C of 5.7 %
or less Hemoglobin A1C of 6.5% or less Hemoglobin A1C of
7.4% or less
Answer:
Hemoglobin A1C of 6.5% or less The current therapeutic goal
for the treatment of clients with diabetes is a hemoglobin A1C
of 6.5% or less. Diagnosis of diabetes is made with an A1C of
over 6.5%. While a hemoglobin A1C of 5.7% verifies a client
has reached the therapeutic goal, it is not the targeted value.
Question:
, The nurse should take immediate action when a client
experiences which side effects of their newly prescribed
glinide, repaglinide? Select all that apply. Nausea Headache
Tremors Disorientation Bloating Lethargy Diaphoresis
Answer:
Lethargy Disorientation Tremors Diaphoresis The client·s
lethargy, diaphoresis, disorientation, and tremors are clinical
manifestations of hypoglycemia. The nurse should check a
capillary glucose level and treat it according to facility
protocol. Nausea, headache, and bloating are common side
effects of diabetic drugs, particularly when the client first
begins therapy, and do not pose the same danger as
hypoglycemia. The nurse should address these symptoms to
increase the client·s comfort promptly. Immediate action is not
needed.
Question:
Complications of Diabetes Mellitus
Answer:
Vascular Disease (atherosclerosis)
-Heart disease
-Stroke
-Heart failure Kidney Disease (nephropathy)
-High blood pressure
