NURS 2750 FINAL QUESTIONS AND
VERIFIED CORRECT ANSWERS
Why is enteral nutrition preferred? - CORRECT ANSWERS- EN had
been shown to maintain intestinal structure and function, and by
improving organ function and immuno-competance may aid the recovery
process and reduce the period required for convalescence. It has the
additional benefits of cost and low risk of serious complications.
central TPN advantages - CORRECT ANSWERS- -can maximize
calorie intake
-can volume restrict patients
-long term catheter maintenance is possible
TPN disadvantages - CORRECT ANSWERS- -complications
associated w placement of the cath
-glucosuria
-septic complication
Central TPN - CORRECT ANSWERS- -Delivered through a large
central vein, including the subclavian and internal jugular.
-Long-term use (more than 7 to 10 days).
peripheral TPN advantages - CORRECT ANSWERS- -placement is
easier than central vein placement
peripheral TPN disadvantages - CORRECT ANSWERS- -short term
use
-not complete nutrition
TPN contains high concentrations of ___ and __ - CORRECT
ANSWERS- -nutrients
-glucose
Long term complications of diabetes - CORRECT ANSWERS- -heart
disease
, -blindness
-kidney failure
-deterioration of nerves
Difference between type 1 & 2, and gestational diabetes - CORRECT
ANSWERS- -type 1- absence of insulin production. (3P's)
-type 2- altered patterns of insulin secretion and insulin resistance
-gestational DM- develops during second and third trimesters of
pregnancy. risk to fetus decreases w good control. increases risk for
type 2 later in life
Prevention of diabetes - CORRECT ANSWERS- -weight loss
-physical activity
-change in diet
Meal planning for diabetes - CORRECT ANSWERS- -exchange list
-carb counting- 1 carb choice equals 15g of carbs
Complications of diabetes - CORRECT ANSWERS- -hypoglycemia-
symptoms: shakiness, confusion, sweating, headache, blurred vision.
REQUIRES IMMEDIATE INTERVENTIONS IF BG IS <70
-hyperglycemia- symptoms: BG > 250, ketonuria, 3P's, hyperventilation,
dehydration, fruity breath.
3 P's of diabetes - CORRECT ANSWERS- polyuria, polydipsia,
polyphagia
lifestyle considerations fo glucose regulation - CORRECT ANSWERS-
children and adolescents: growing brain needs glucose. irregular eating
patterns, varying activity levels, and growth spurts cause fluctuations in
glucose levels.
adolescents: chronic illness concerns, eating disorders, effect blood
glucose control.
older adults: factors effecting control: memory loss/cognitive deficits,
depression, sensory impairments, food intake, self-management
concerns
