RNSG 1441 EXAM 2025 QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
Signs & symptoms of diabetes type 1 - ANS recent/sudden weight loss, Polydipsia, Polyuria,
Polyphagia
Signs & symptoms of diabetes type 1 - ANS impeding or actual ketoacidosis, weakness,
fatigue, recurrent infection
Signs & symptoms of diabetes type 1 - ANS recurrent vaginal yeast or monilia infection,
prolonged wound healing, visual changes
Polydipsia - ANS excessive thirst, osmotic effect of glucose
Polyuria - ANS frequent urination, osmotic effect of glucose
Polyphagia - ANS excessive hunger, a consequence of cellular malnourishment when insulin
deficiency prevents utilization of glucose for energy
Diagnostic test that would show the overall control of glucose over several months -
ANS A1C
Hemoglobin A1C - ANS measurement of glycosylated hemoglobin; indicates the amount of
glucose that has been attached to hemoglobin molecules over their life span (previous 90 to
120 days)

, Hemoglobin A1C - ANS useful in determining glycemic levels over time
A1C - ANS measures the amount of glycosylated hemoglobin as a percentage of total
hemoglobin (A1C of 7% means that 7% of the total hemoglobin has glucose attached to it).
According to ADA, ideal A1C goal of person with diabetes - ANS less than or equal to 7.0%
Patient teaching regarding exercise for the diabetic patient - ANS regular, consistent exercise
is essential part of diabetes and prediabetes management, ADA recommends 150 min per week
of moderate-intensity aerobic activity
Patient teaching regarding exercise for the patient w/ type 2 - ANS ADA recommends
perform resistance training 3 times a week in the absence of contraindications
U.S. Surgeon general recommends patient with diabetes - ANS most adults have at least 30
min of moderate-intensity activity on most days
Moderate Activity for diabetic patient (200-350kcal/hr) - ANS Active housework, Bicycling
(light), Bowling, Dancing, Gardening, Golf, Roller Skating, Walking briskly
Therapeutic benefits of regular physical activity - ANS decreased need for diabetes medicines
in order to reach target blood glucose goals
Regular exercise - ANS help reduce triglyceride and LDL cholesterol levels, increase HDL,
reduce blood pressure, improve circulation
Exercise - ANS decreases insulin resistance, can have direct effect on lowering the blood
glucose levels, contributes to weight loss (also decreases insulin resistance)
New exercise program for diabetic patient - ANS should be started only after medical
clearance, started slowly w/ gradual progression toward desired goal
