Term 2 of 51
A client with a serum glucose level of 618 mg/dl is admitted to the facility. He's awake and
oriented, has hot dry skin, and has the following vital signs: temperature of 100.6° F (38.1° C), heart
rate of 116 beats/minute, and blood pressure of 108/70 mm Hg. Based on these assessment
findings, which nursing diagnosis takes highest priority?
They increase the need for insulin.
deficient fluid volume r/t osmotic diuresis
(diuresis occurs when serum glucose levels are very high)
potassium iodide (provides protective benefits to thyroid following radiation exposure)
glycosated hemoglobin level (<7 is good, normal is 4-6%)
Definition 3 of 51
Humulin R: 30-60 (o), 2-3 hr (p), 4-6 hr (d)
regular (short acting) insulin onset, peak, duration
ketoconazole as second line hormonal treatment for prostate CA
early symptoms associated with hypoglycemia
intermediate acting insuling onset, peak, duration
,Term 4 of 51
Which statement is correct regarding glargine insulin?
it can be combined with any rapid-acting insulin
do not mix with other insulins
it is only effective when mixed with nph
it cannot be mixed with any other insulin
Term 5 of 51
A nurse is caring for a client with type 1 diabetes who exhibits confusion, light-headedness, and
aberrant behavior. The client is conscious. The nurse should first administer:
15 to 20 g of a fast-acting carbohydrate such as orange juice.
a glass of water to hydrate the client.
10 g of complex carbohydrates like whole grain bread.
30 g of protein-rich food like cheese.
Term 6 of 51
A client is being cared for in the ED. The client is assigned to the triage category of "urgent." How
often must the nurse reassess the client?
regular insulin (only type that can be administered via IV)
fluid replacement
q 30 m
glucagon
, Term 7 of 51
The client who is managing diabetes through diet and insulin control asks the nurse why exercise
is important. Which is the best response by the nurse to support adding exercise to the daily
routine?
Has no effect on glucose levels or cell function.
Increases ability for glucose to get into the cell and lowers blood sugar
Decreases metabolism and increases blood sugar levels.
Increases insulin resistance and raises blood sugar levels.
Term 8 of 51
Which is the best nursing explanation for the symptom of polyuria in a client with diabetes
mellitus?
High sugar pulls fluid into the bloodstream, which results in more urine production.
High sugar leads to dehydration, which decreases urine production.
Low sugar causes the kidneys to retain more fluid, reducing urine output.
High sugar causes the body to absorb more fluid from urine, leading to less urine.
