A (Addison's disease is an endocrine disorder that occurs when the adrenal glands do not produce enough of the hormone cortisol, and in some cases, the hormone aldosterone. The disease is characterized by weight loss, muscle weakness, fatigue, low blood pressure, and hyperpigmentation (darkening) of the skin in both exposed and non-exposed parts of the body.)
A nurse is caring for a client with type 1 diabetes mellitus who reports feeling shaky and having palpitations. When the nurse finds the client's blood glucose to be 48 mg/dL on the glucometer, he should give the client which of the following? A. Graham crackers B. 1 tsp sugar C. 4 oz diet soda D. 4 oz skin milk
A (After establishing that the client has hypoglycemia, the nurse should give the client about 15 g of a rapid-acting, concentrated carbohydrate, such as 4 oz of fruit juice, 8 oz of skim milk, 3 tsp of sugar or honey, 3 graham crackers, or commercially prepared glucose tablets. The nurse should recheck the client's blood glucose level in 15 minutes. 1 tsp sugar does not contain enough carbohydrate to reverse hypoglycemia. The usual recommendation is 4 tsp of sugar or 1 tablespoon of honey. The client who has hypoglycemia requires treatment with15g of carbohydrates to raise the blood glucose level. Diet soda does not contain the required carbohydrates, but has artificial sweeteners. The nurse can administer 4 oz of regular soda, however. This does not contain enough carbohydrate to reverse hypoglycemia. The usual recommendation is 8 oz of skim milk in order to provide 15 g of carbohydrates.)

Weight loss, buffalo hump and, moon face with acne C. Abdominal and buttocks striae, truncal obesity, and hypotension D. Anorexia, signs of dehydration, and hyperpigmentation of the skin
A (The effects of Adenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) excess, especially the glucorticoids-- leads to weight gain from accumulation and redistribution of adipose tissue.)
A nurse is caring for a child who has Addison's disease. Which of the following actions should the nurse take? A. Teach the parents about cortisol replacement therapy. B. Place the child on a low-sodium diet C. Monitor the child for fluid-volume excess D. Discuss the manifestations of hypoglycemia with the parents.
A (The nurse should plan to teach the child's parents about cortisol replacement therapy. Administration of glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids is necessary because inadequate supplies or a sudden cessation of the medications can cause acute adrenal crisis.)

Urine: large amount glucose (normal is 0) B. Blood Glucose: 880 mg/dL C. Urine: Positive for large amounts of ketones (normal is 0_ D. Potassium (K+): 2.8 mmoL/L
A, B, D (In the case of hyperglycemia that we see in HHS, we expect to see elevated glucose in the blood, as well as in the urine. The kidneys are trying to help flush out the excess glucose by way of urination. Although we thank the kidneys for their effort, this is often unsuccessful and leads to extreme dehydration in your patient. The will get better faster with some insulin! Blood HYPERglycemia is the problem here. The high blood glucose causes polyuria and extreme dehydration in these patients. Due to excessive urination the K+ may be low in these clients. Remember that they do have some insulin to draw K+ into the cells, as well. Each patient will be different -- we want you to remember that in these cases, K+ is going to change rapidly, so you need to make sure you have frequent labs to monitor this important electrolyte.)

Potassium replacement is not necessary for the management of HHS.
B (The management of DKA is similar to that of HHS except HHS requires greater fluid replacement because of the severe hyperosmolar state. Bicarbonate is not usually given in DKA unless pH is <7.0 because administration of insulin will reverse the abnormal fat metabolism. Total body potassium deficit is possible in both conditions, requiring monitoring and possibly potassium administration, and in both conditions, glucose is added to IV fluids when blood glucose levels fall to 250 mg/dL.)

A nurse is assessing a client who has Addison's disease and is at risk for Addisonian crisis. Which of the following actions should the nurse take? A. Provide a low-carbohydrate diet B. Weigh the client daily C. Administer oral corticosteroids D. Restrict fluid intake
B (Weigh the client daily. Addison's disease is an endocrine disorder that causes weight loss, muscle weakness, fatigue, low blood pressure, and hyperpigmentation (darkening) of the skin. Obtaining the client's daily weight will alert the nurse that dehydration is developing, which could indicate an impending crisis.)
The client with Cushing's disease needs to modify dietary intake to control symptoms. In addition to increasing protein. Which strategy would be most appropriate? A. Increase calories B. Restrict sodium C. Restrict potassium D. Reduce fat to 10%
B (restricting sodium thereby reduces fluid retention)

a complex disorder of carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism resulting from the lack of insulin secretion by the beta cells of the pancreas or defects of the insulin receptors; it is commonly referred to simply as diabetes. There are two major types of diabetes: type 1 or type 2
Diabetes Mellitus
36 hours (1.5 days) after surgery, you are once again A.D's nurse A.D. reports that he feels slightly nauseated. His abdomen is soft and only tender at his incision site. You auscultate and hear no bowel sounds. At this time, you are concerned A.D. has developed a bowel obstruction. Which type of bowel obstruction would you expect? Explain WHY.
Due to the fact that A.D. has no bowel sounds, the most likely scenario is that he has a non-mechanical bowel obstruction. More specifically, a paralytic ileus caused by abdominal surgery. (Hopefully, this ileus will resolve on its own. Anesthesia and surgery on the abdomen can cause the GI system to "shut down" in response to this stress. For some patients, it can unfortunately take a while for the GI system to wake up again.)

E, A, F, D, B, C (As with all clients, first, establish an airway. With a client with diabetes and abnormal behavior, the blood glucose must first be checked to determine if the symptoms are related to diabetes. In this case, the symptoms are related to hyperglycemia, so an IV must be started for fluid resuscitation and insulin administration. The last food intake and mediations may establish a cause for the hyperglycemia and aid in determining further treatment)
