NUR 280 EXAM 2 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Carbohydrate Metabolism - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅- insulin supported process of facilitated diffusion;
moves glucose from the bloodstream into cells
- process that ensures constant supply of energy to cells
Insulin is produced by - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅beta cells of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas
Diabetes Mellitus - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅- disorder of carbohydrate metabolism due to the body's
inability to produce or use insulin
- Characterized by high levels of blood glucose
Insulin - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅A hormone produced by the pancreas that allows the cells to use
glucose in the blood
Diabetes Mellitus predisposes the client to... - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅- CVD
- renal damage/ renal failure
- peripheral vascular disease
- ischemic heart disease
- blindness
- peripheral neuropathy
- lower extremity amputation
4 Major Types of Diabetes Mellitus - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅- Type I Diabetes

Etiology of Diabetes Mellitus - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅-diet
- obesity
, - sedentary behavior
- insulin resistance

- hormonal changes during pregnancy
-genetic mutations
- pancreatic disease
- medication toxicity
Glucose - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅- energy used by the cell or stored as glycogen or converted to fat
- energy for cell metabolism
Glycogen - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅stored glucose in the liver and muscles
Glycogenesis - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅process of glycogen formation
Glycogenolysis - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅breakdown of stored glycogen to turn it back into glucose to be
used
Gluconeogenesis - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅amino acids ad fats are converted into glucose
- toxic byproducts when fat is turned into glucose is keto acid and can cause diabetic ketoacidosis
