NURS 2101 EXAM 2024-2025
The risk factors for type 1 diabetes include all of the following except:
a. Diet
b. Genetic
c. Autoimmune
d. Environmental - ANSWER A: Diet
Type 1 diabetes is a primary failure of pancreatic beta cells to produce insulin. It
primarily affects children and young adults and is unrelated to diet.
Among female children and adolescents, the first sign of type 1 diabetes may be:
a. Rapid weight gain
b. Constipation
c. Genital candidiasis
d. Insomnia - ANSWER C: Genital candidiasis
The signs and symptoms that suggest type 1 diabetes include excessive thirst,
hunger, urination, weight loss, fatigue, irritability, blurred vision, and infection
with candida albicans (also known as yeast infections).
The lifetime risk of developing diabetes for a male born in 2000 is:
a. 1 in 5
b. 1 in 3
c. 2 in 5
d. 1 in 2 - ANSWER B: 1 in 3
The CDC reports that adults in the U.S. are at high risk of developing diabetes.
Females are at higher risk than males and Hispanics/Latinos are at the greatest risk.
, The benefits of using an insulin pump include all of the following:
a. By continuously providing insulin they eliminate the need for injections of
insulin
b. They simplify the management of blood sugar and often improve A1C
c. They enable exercise without compensatory carbohydrate consumption
d. They help with weight loss - ANSWER D: They help with weight loss
Using an insulin pump has many advantages, including fewer dramatic swings in
blood glucose levels, increased flexibility about diet, and improved accuracy of
insulin doses and delivery; however, the use of an insulin pump has been associated
with weight gain.
Which of the following regimens offers the best blood glucose control for persons
with type 1 diabetes?
a. A single anti-diabetes drugs
b. Once daily insulin injections
c. A combination of oral anti-diabetic medications
d. Three or four injections per day of different types of insulin. - ANSWER D:
Three or four injections per day of different types of insulin.
Because persons with type 1 diabetes do not produce insulin, they require insulin
and cannot be treated with oral anti-diabetic drugs. Several injections of insulin per
day, calibrated to respond to measured blood glucose levels, offer the best blood
glucose control and may prevent or postpone the retinal, renal, and neurological
complications of diabetes.
Which symptom is indicative of hypoglycemia?
a. irritability
b. drowsiness
c. abdominal pain
d. N & V - ANSWER A. Irritability: signs of hypoglycemia include irritability,
