Why should I try if I'm going to go through the same thing?" What is the nurse's mostappropriate response? "There are no guarantees about how diabetes will progress." "Are you worried that you'll have the same experience as your parent?" "Your parent didn't get the proper treatment." "It sounds like your parent's diabetes wasn't under very good control."

"Are you worried that you'll have the same experience as your parent?"

When referred to a podiatrist, a client newly diagnosed with diabetes mellitus asks, "Why do you need to check my feet when I'm having a problem with my blood sugar?" The nurse's most helpful response to this statement is "Diabetes can affect sensation in your feet and you can hurt yourself without realizing it." "The circulation in your feet can help us determine how severe your diabetes is." "It's easier to get foot infections if you have diabetes." "The physician wants to be sure your shoes fit properly so you won't develop pressure sores."

The laboratory comes to draw an Hgb A1c. The client asks the nurse what this test represents. Which statement would be correct? "This blood test is done to measure hyperglycemia in your system for 3 to 4 days after you were diagnosed with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)." "This test is needed to determine which insulin will be needed to prevent another diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) episode." "This test is done to determine length of time that will be needed to correct the diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) state." "This test reflects the average blood glucose over a period of approximately 2-3 months."

"Two shots will give you better control and decrease complications."

"Two shots will give you better control and decrease complications."

A client with diabetes begins to cry and says, "I just can't stand the thought of having to give myself a shot every day." What would be the best response by the nurse? a. "If you don't give yourself your insulin shots, you'll be at greater risk for complications." b. "I can arrange to have a home care nurse give you the shots every day." c. "We can teach a family member to give the shots so you won't have to do it." d. "What is it about giving yourself the insulin shots that bothers you?" SUBMIT ANSWER

insulin and glucagon explained

Insulin lowers glucose by storing it, causing the sure to undergo one of the three: Glycolysis: glucose->atp glycogenesis: glucose->glycogen in liver/musc lipogenesis: glucose-> lipids/fatty acids in adipose tissue Glucagon increases glucose by releasing it through: glycogenolysis: glycogen->glucose Glyconeogenesis: bunching of amino acids into glucose Ketogenesis: fatty acids->ketone bodies

Somogyi phenomenon

Normal or elevated blood glucose levels are present at bedtime; hypoglycemia occurs at about 2 to 3 am. Counterregulatory hormones, produced to prevent further hypoglycemia, result in hyperglycemia (evident in the prebreakfast blood glucose level). Treatment includes decreasing the evening (predinner or bedtime) dose of intermediate acting/NPH insulin or increasing the bedtime snack.
