NURS 676 week 6 quiz

Benefits of transdermal estrogen - answer• total dose of estrogen is greatly reduced
(because the liver is bypassed).
• Less N/V
• Blood levels of estrogen fluctuate less
• lower risk for DVT, pulmonary embolism, and stroke

Type 1 diabetes diagnosis - answer-fasting plasma glucose >/= 126 mg/dL
-random plasma glucose >/= 200mg/dL PLUS symptoms
- Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT): 2-h plasma glucose >/= 200mg/dL
-hemoglobin A1C 6.5 or higher

which cells produce insulin - answerBeta cells of the islets of Langerhans in pancreas

Type 1 diabetes management - answer1. diet
2. self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG)
3. Physical activity
4. Insulin replacement

what is given to manage hypertension in diabetics - answerACEIs or ARBs
-reduces risk for diabetic nephropathy

what is given to manage dyslipidemia in diabetics - answerStatins

Type 1 diabetes complications - answerDiabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA)

heart disease, renal failure, blindness, neuropathy, amputations, impotence, stroke

Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) pathophysiology - answerwhen insulin is not present to
move glucose into cells for energy, the body begins to metabolize fat; fatty acid
metabolism results in the formation of ketone bodies; ketone bodies are acidic and
produce metabolic acidosis, diuresis, and electrolyte loss

Type 2 diabetes management - answer1. lifestyle changes PLUS metformin
2. add a second drug (thiazolidinedione, DPP-4 inhibitor, SGLT-2 inhibitor, or GLP-1
receptor agonist
3. 3 drug combo
4. Insulin & GLP-1 receptor agonist

Metformin - answerBiguanide

MOA:

,1. inhibits glucose production in liver
2. reduces glucose absorption in the gut
3. sensitizes insulin receptors in target tissues--increases glucose uptake

NOT METABOLIZED

SE: GI, lactic acidosis

-Type II, prevention, PCOS, Gestational

Meglitinides (Glinides) - answer-stimulate pancreatic insulin release
-shorter acting than sulfonylureas and are taken w/ each meal

repaglinide and nateglinide

Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) - answerGlitazones

MOA:
-decrease insulin resistance, increasing glucose uptake by muscle and fat
-decrease glucose production by liver

SE: hypoglycemia when there is excessive insulin, HF, bladder cancer, fractures in
women, ovulation

Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 (DPP-4) Inhibitors - answerGliptins
- enhance actions of incretin hormones to stimulate glucose-dependent insulin and
suppress glucagon release by inhibiting DPP-4
-DPP-4 is an enzyme that inactivates incretin hormones

AE: hypoglycemia and pancreatitis

Incretin Hormones (GIP and GLP-1) - answer(1) stimulate glucose-dependent release
of insulin (2) suppress postprandial release of glucagon

Glucagon - answerincreases glucose production in the liver

sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor - answer"-gliflozin"

SGLT-2 accounts for 90% of glucose reabsorption in the kidney

blocks reabsorption of filtered glucose, increasing urinary excretion of glucose

AE: hypoglycemia, UTI, vulvovaginal infection, dehydration

glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist - answerincretin mimetics

, -slow gastric emptying
-stimulate glucose-dependent release o insulin
-inhibit postprandial release of glucagon
-suppress appetite

AE: hypoglycemia, renal impairment, fetal harm, pancreatitis

Sulfonylureas - answerglipizide, glyburide, glimepiride -stimulate release of insulin from
pancreatic islet
>> bind with/block ATP-sensitive potassium channels in cell membrane, which causes
influx of calcium, leading to insulin release

AE: hypoglycemia

C-peptide - answerProduct of proinsulin cleavage

indicates pancreas is still making some insulin

Type 2 diabetes complications - answer

Type 1 diabetes and pregnancy - answer1. placenta produces hormones that
antagonize insulin's actions
2. cortisol (promotes hyperglycemia) increases x3
3. glucose can pass to fetus, so hyperglycemia in mother leads to excessive insulin
secretion in fetus

Hypoglycemia symptoms - answertachycardia, palpitations, sweating, nervousness

hypoglycemic agents - answersulfonylureas, glinides, alcohol

hyperglycemic agents - answerthiazide diuretics, glucocorticoids, sympathomimetics

insulin actions - answer1. cellular uptake of glucose, amino acids, nucleotides, and
potassium
2. synthesis of complex organic molecules

Gluconeogenesis - answerformation of glucose from amino acids and fatty acids

Glargine management - answerOnset: 70 min
Peak: NONE
Duration: 18-24 hours

SubQ inj 1-2x/daily at same time

U-100 or U-300
