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.
