1. A child has been diagnosed with Type I diabetes mellitus. The nurse is reading
this child's endocrinologist prescription, indicating the appropriate
administration of insulin. Which of the following insulin regimen is best for
children with diabetes mellitus?

A. The dose is dependent solely on age

B. Rapid-acting insulin must be injected intramuscularly two times a day

C. The dose is administered in the vastus lateralis muscle

D. The dose is determined individually - ANSWER ✓ Answer: D. The dose
is determined individually



Currently, there is a recommendation for the individual treatment of diabetes
mellitus. Each client has a unique genetic makeup, meaning different people
are likely to respond differently to the same drug regimen. For some, it may be
effective, while for others, it may not be as beneficial.

, Although age does play a factor in insulin dosing, it is not the sole factor—
other factors include weight, blood glucose levels, activity levels, lifestyle, diet,
etc.

It is also common to mix different types of insulins to get the best results.
Short-acting insulin has a quick onset of action, a duration of only a couple of
hours, and can be administered multiple times per day.

Long-acting insulin has a slower onset of action, a duration of up to 24 hours,
and is usually administered once daily. The regime, including the type and
frequency of insulin administration, depends on the client's blood glucose
levels.



2. A client arrives to the ER with a blood glucose of 32 mmol/L. What are the 3
polys of Type diabetes mellitus?

A. Polyuria, polyopia, polycystic

B. Polydipsia, polyphagia, polyarthritis

C. Polyphagia, polyuria, polydipsia

D. Polyuria, polycythemia, polyarthritis - ANSWER ✓ Polyphagia,
polyuria, polydipsia



Type I diabetes mellitus (DM) develops when the body can no longer produce
insulin due to the destruction of beta cells of the pancreas responsible for
insulin production. Lack of insulin production leads to poor control of blood
glucose levels. Polyphagia, polyuria, and polydipsia are known as the cardinal
signs of diabetes. They develop faster in clients with type I DM.

, Polydipsia refers to increased thirst caused by high blood sugar levels that
make the blood more concentrated.

Polyuria is the medical term for increased frequency of urination and passage
of high volumes of urine, followed by the excess intake of fluids.

Polyphagia refers to increased appetite which occurs because of excess loss of
glucose in the urine, making the body crave food.



3. Which of the following drugs is the most effective when it comes to easing the
symptoms of osteoarthritis?

A. Acyclovir

B. Baclofen

C. Acetaminophen

D. Diclofenac - ANSWER ✓ Answer: D. Diclofenac



Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat
generalized pain, rheumatoid arthritis, dysmenorrhea, and osteoarthritis. It
works by inhibiting the activity of COX-1 and COX-2, which are responsible
for the production of lipid compounds that are essential in pain response and
inflammation.

Acyclovir is an antiviral drug. Baclofen is a skeletal muscle relaxant drug.
Acetaminophen is an analgesic and antipyretic drug.

, 4. Which statement about the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV) infection is true?

A. Treatment is difficult because antivirals are unsafe for the population

B. Asymptomatic individuals do not need to be treated

C. Treatment for HIV varies for each client

D. Only one drug is required to treat all clients with HIV - ANSWER ✓
Answer: C. Treatment for HIV varies for each client



HIV is also known as the human immunodeficiency virus. Failure to treat
infection due to this virus can develop autoimmune deficiency syndrome
(AIDS) which is a life-threatening condition. Symptoms include fever, swollen
lymph nodes, fatigue, and weight loss. The treatment for HIV is called
antiretroviral (ARV) therapy. It involves the use of a combination of antiviral
drugs. The specifications of the drug therapy for HIV are different for each
individual because the treatment is supposed to blend in with other
medications that the client must take, which depends on many factors such as
comorbidities, nutrition, and immune status.

The answer option A is incorrect because many antiviral drugs work well. The
answer option B is also wrong because even asymptomatic clients with HIV
require treatment. Treating HIV starting from the early stages is better since it
may help reduce the mortality rate. The answer option D is also incorrect
because the treatment usually involves a combination of antiviral drugs
