levels in type 2 diabetes.
d. Type 2 diabetes is usually diagnosed when a patient is
admitted in hyperglycemic
coma. - ...ANSWER...✓✓ ANS: C
For some patients with type 2 diabetes, changes in
lifestyle are sufficient to achieve blood

b. Using low doses of regular insulin

d. Effects of oral hypoglycemic medications -
...ANSWER...✓✓ ANS: C
The patient's impaired fasting glucose indicates
prediabetes, and the patient should be
counseled about lifestyle changes to prevent the
development of type 2 diabetes. The patient
with prediabetes does not require insulin or oral
hypoglycemics for glucose control and does
not need to self-monitor blood glucose.

The nurse is assessing a 22-yr-old patient experiencing
the onset of symptoms of type 1
diabetes. To which question would the nurse anticipate a
positive response?
a. "Are you anorexic?"
b. "Is your urine dark colored?"
c. "Have you lost weight lately?"
d. "Do you crave sugary drinks?" - ...ANSWER...✓✓ ANS:
C
Weight loss occurs because the body is no longer able to
absorb glucose and starts to break
down protein and fat for energy. The patient is thirsty but
does not necessarily crave
sugar-containing fluids. Increased appetite is a classic
symptom of type 1 diabetes. With the
classic symptom of polyuria, urine will be very dilute.
