NURSING| QUESTIONS & ANSWERS| GRADE A|
(VERIFIED SOLUTIONS) (2025/ 2026 U PDATE)
1. What are the labs and diagnostics for diabetes?: Fasting blood
glucose (normal is less than 100)
Glucose Tolerance Test- Normal is less than 140
Hemoglobin A1C - Normal is 4%-6%
2. What are treatment goals for diabetes?: A1C level at or below
7%
Premeal Blood glucose levels between 70-100
Peak after meal glucose levels less than 180
3. Can type 1 diabetics take oral meds for treatment?: NO
4. What are examples of oral medications for type 2 diabetics?:
Sulfonylureas
(Micronase, Diabeta, Amaryl, Glucotrol), Meglitinides (Prandin)
NUR 206
,Biguanide-type pills (Glucophage), "Insulin sensitizers" tzds (Actos,
Avandia,) Alpha Glucosidase Inhibitors (Precose)
Metformin
Sitagliptin
Exenatide
5. How do sulfonylureas work?: Puts more insulin in the
bloodstream
6. How do biguanides work?: Helps insulin work better by
increasing insulin sensitivity in the tissues
7. How do alpha-glucosidase inhibitors work?: help keep sugar
you eat from being absorbed
8. How does metformin work?: decrease the production of glucose
by the liver 9. How does sitagliptin work?: Inhibits enzymes in
the intestine responsible for breaking down incretins that potentiate
insulin release
10. How does exenatide work?: mimics hormone incretins that
trigger insulin release from the pancreas
, 3
NUR 206
11. What are the four types of insulin?: rapid short
intermediate long
12. What is lantus?: long acting insulin
13. What color is lantus?: clear
14. Can lantus be mixed with another insulin?: no
15. What is the dawn phenmomenon?: occurs at night time
due to a release of adrenal hormones and causes BSG elevations
around 5-6 am
16. How do you avoid dawn phenmomenon?: give
intermediate release insulin at
10 pm instead of with dinner
17. What is the somogyi phenmomenon?: morning
hyperglycemia that occurs from the counter regulatory response to
nighttime hypoglycemia
18. How do you avoid the somogyi phenmomenon?: by
giving a bedtime snack, evaluating the insulin dose, and exercise
program to help prevent episodes of hypoglycemia
NUR 206
, 19. What are dietary considerations for diabetics?: High fiber
foods (at least 25g daily such as vegetables, whole grains, fruits)
Avoid high sodium foods
Limit alcohol
Eat consistent carbs at each meal/snack
Eat at same times each day
Don't skip meals or snacks
20. Why is exercise important for diabetics?: improves
insulin sensitivity and lowers BSG
21. Should a diabetic exercise is they have a BSG above 250
or ketones in their urine?: absolutely not
22. What are signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia?:
Inability to concentrate memory lapse slurred speech
Numbness of lips
and tongue
combative
behavior double
