NURBN FINAL PAPER 2026 EXAM QUESTIONS
AND SOLUTIONS 100 PERCENT CORRECT
◉ What is the patho for T2DM. Answer: receptors that inuslin bind
to dont work properly -> glucose stays in the bloodstream -> high
BGL
◉ What are two risk factors assoicated with T2DM. Answer: -
obeisty and overweight
- genetic predisposition
◉ 2 complications associated with T2DM. Answer: - vision problems
- foot amputation because of the lack of blood flow to the legs
◉ What 2 medications are used to treat T2DM. Answer: - metformin
- glibenclamide
◉ mode of action for metformin. Answer: Reduces healtic glucose
sensiitivty. Stimulcates glycogen synthesis. Increases the transport
capacity for glucose transporters.
◉ mode of action for glibenclamide. Answer: lowers blood glucose.
Stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas.
,◉ 3 Side effects for using metformin. Answer: - taste disturbance
- constipation
- lactic acidosis
◉ 3 Side effects for using glibenclamide. Answer: - hypoglycemia
- GI Upset
- Visual disturbance
◉ 2 nursing considerations for using metformin. Answer: - pt may
become dehydrated so ensure they are keeping their fluids up
- Take it with food to avoid GI upset
◉ 2 nursing considerations for using glibenclamide. Answer: - check
bgl and montior for hypoglycemia
- take it with food to avoid GI upset
◉ What 2 blood pathology tests should be conducted for T2DM.
Answer: - Glucose
- HbA1c
◉ 3 education points regarding T2DM. Answer: -regular excercise is
helpful in weight reduction
, - healthy diet
- monitor BGL for hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia
◉ What is T1DM. Answer: An autoimmune condition where the
bodys own immune system is activated to destory the beta cells in
the pancreas, therefore the body stops producing insulin
◉ What is the patho for T1DM. Answer: Immune system destroys
beta cells -> insulin production decreases -> less insulin binds to
receptors -> less glucose is taken into cells -> more glucose stays in
the blood -> leads to health problems
◉ 3 signs and symptoms of T1DM. Answer: - being excessivley
thirsty
- passing more urine
- feeling tired
◉ What are two risk factors assoicated with T1DM. Answer: - family
history
- having an autoimmune disease
◉ 2 complications associated with T1DM. Answer: - increased risk
of stroke and cerebrovascular disease
- high blood pressure and insulin resistance
