When obtaining a health history from a patient with acute pancreatitis, the nurse asks the patient specifically about a history of When obtaining a health history from a patient with acute pancreatitis, the nurse asks the patient specifically about a history of When lactulose (Cephulac) 30 ml QID is ordered for a patient with advanced cirrhosis, the patient complains that it causes diarrhea. The nurse explains to the patient that it is still important to take the drug because the lactulose will When assessing the patient experiencing the onset of symptoms of type 1 diabetes, which question should the nurse ask? When assessing the neurologic status of a patient with a diagnosis of hepatic encephalopathy, the nurse asks the patient to When an older person is identified as high-risk for diabetes, appropriate testing would include FPG and OGTT. A FPG greater than 140 mg/dL usually indicates diabetes. The OGTT is to determine how the body responds to the ingestion of carbohydrates in a meal. HbA1C evaluates long-term glucose control. A finger stick glucose three times daily spot-checks blood glucose levels. When a client's carbohydrate consumption is inadequate ketones are produced from the breakdown of fat. When a client learned that the symptoms of diabetes were caused by high levels of blood glucose the client decided to stop eating carbohydrates. In this instance, the nurse would be concerned that the client would develop what complication? Weight gain should continue, but not in excessive amounts. Waiting to eat until after the procedure is likely to cause hypoglycemia. Usually, gestational diabetes disappears after the infant is born. However, diabetes can develop 5 to 10 years after the pregnancy. Turning the patient every 4 hours will not be adequate to maintain skin integrity. Thyroidectomy: - ansSemi Fowler and avoid hyperflexion and hyperextension of the neck Thyroid hormone deficiency results in reduction in the metabolic rate, resulting in hypothermia, and does predispose the older adult to a host of other health-related issues. One quarter of affected elderly experience constipation. This causes problems such as hepatic encephalopathy (neurologic syndrome that develops as a result of rising blood ammonia levels). Although other nutrients, such as fat and carbohydrates, may be regulated, it's most important to limit protein in the diet of the client with liver failure.

The other goals would also be important for this patient, but they are not as high a priority as airway maintenance. The other data indicate other complications of acute pancreatitis but are not indicators of electrolyte imbalance. The other choices are all higher in protein and would not be as appropriate for this patient. The other actions can be accomplished after the infusion of normal saline is initiated. The nurse working in the physician's office is reviewing lab results on the clients seen that day. One of the clients who has classic diabetic symptoms had an eight-hour fasting plasma glucose test done. The nurse realizes that diagnostic criteria developed by the American Diabetes Association for diabetes include classic diabetic symptoms plus which of the following fasting plasma glucose levels? The nurse teaches the diabetic patient who rides a bicycle to work every day to administer morning insulin into the The nurse should assess the patient with a blood glucose level of 52 mg/dl for symptoms of hypoglycemia, and give the patient some carbohydrate-containing beverage such as orange juice. The other values are within an acceptable range for a diabetic patient. The nurse is working with an overweight client who has a high-stress job and smokes. This client has just received a diagnosis of Type II Diabetes and has just been started on an oral hypoglycemic agent. Which of the following goals for the client which if met, would be most likely to lead to an improvement in insulin efficiency to the point the client would no longer require oral hypoglycemic agents? The nurse is responsible for instructing the client about the bowel preparation prior to the test. The nurse is planning dietary changes for a client following an episode of pancreatitis.

Assessment findings that alert the nurse to electrolyte imbalances associated with acute pancreatitis include The nurse identifies a nursing diagnosis of risk for impaired skin integrity for a patient with cirrhosis who has ascites and 4+ pitting edema of the feet and legs. An appropriate nursing intervention for this problem is to The nurse does not need to talk with the doctor before giving the spironolactone, although the health care provider should be notified about the low potassium value. The nurse assisting in the admission of a client with diabetic ketoacidosis will anticipate the physician ordering which of the following types of intravenous solution if the client cannot take fluids orally? The most common complaint of the client with colon cancer is a change in bowel habits. The health care provider is responsible for obtaining informed consent. The health care provider inserts the tube and verifies the position. The esophageal balloon is deflated every 8 to 12 hours to avoid necrosis, but if the gastric balloon is deflated, the esophageal balloon may occlude the airway. The hand is lowered to increase venous flow. The guidelines for Carbohydrate Counting as medical nutrition therapy for diabetes mellitus includes all of the following EXCEPT: The furosemide will further decrease the patient's potassium level and should be held until the nurse talks with the health care provider.

Running can be done in either the morning or afternoon. If the glucose is very elevated, the patient should postpone the run. Risk factors for type 2 diabetes include all of the following except: Regular insulin, not NPH insulin, would be administered. The use of sodium bicarbonate to correct acidosis is avoided because it can precipitate a further drop in serum potassium levels. Intubation and mechanical ventilation are not required to treat HHNS. Regular insulin is administered, not a long-acting insulin. There is no indication that the patient requires oxygen. Dextrose solutions will increase the patient's blood glucose and would be contraindicated. Rationale: Weight loss occurs because the body is no longer able to absorb glucose and starts to break down protein and fat for energy. The patient is thirsty but does not necessarily crave sugar- containing fluids. Increased appetite is a classic symptom of type 1 diabetes. With the classic symptom of polyuria, urine will be very dilute. Rationale: Tricyclic antidepressants decrease the transmission of pain impulses to the spinal cord and brain. Tricyclics also improve sleep quality and are used for depression, but that is not the major purpose for their use in diabetic neuropathy. The blood vessel changes that contribute to neuropathy are not affected by tricyclics. Rationale: To avoid lactic acidosis, metformin should not be used for 48 hours after IV contrast media are administered. Rationale: The recommended treatment for exposure to hepatitis B in unvaccinated individuals is to receive both HBIG and the hepatitis B vaccine, which would provide temporary passive immunity and promote active immunity. Rationale: The purpose for lactulose in the patient with cirrhosis is to lower ammonia levels and prevent encephalopathy. Rationale: The pressure-relieving mattress will decrease the risk for skin breakdown for this patient. Rationale: The patient's symptoms, lack of antibodies for hepatitis, and the ABRUPT onset of symptoms suggest toxic hepatitis, which can be caused by commonly used OTC drugs such as acetaminophen (Tylenol). Rationale: The patient's impaired fasting glucose indicates pre-diabetes and the patient should be counseled about LIFESTYLE CHANGES to prevent the development of type 2 diabetes. Rationale: The patient's clinical manifestations are consistent with hypoglycemia and the initial action should be to check the patient's glucose with a finger stick or order a stat blood glucose. Rationale: The patient with IFG is at risk for developing type 2 diabetes, but this risk can be decreased with lifestyle changes.

Rationale: The patient with acute hepatic encephalopathy is placed on a LOW-protein diet to decrease ammonia levels. Rationale: The patient should empty the bladder to decrease the risk of bladder perforation during the procedure. Rationale: The patient is taught to choose a puncture site at the side of the finger pad. The other patient actions indicate that teaching has been effective. Rationale: The patient is taught to avoid high heels and that leather shoes are preferred. Rationale: The most urgent patient problem is the hypovolemia associated with DKA, and the priority is to infuse IV fluids. Rationale: The most common complication of balloon tamponade is aspiration pneumonia. Rationale: The low oncotic pressure caused by hypoalbuminemia is a major pathophysiologic factor in the development of ascites and edema. The other parameters should also be monitored, but they are not contributing factors to the patient's current symptoms. Rationale: The hypokalemia associated with metabolic acidosis can lead to potentially fatal dysrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation, which would be detected with ECG monitoring. Rationale: The highest priority outcome is to maintain nutrition because adequate nutrition is needed for hepatocyte regeneration. Finding a home for the patient and identifying the source of the infection would be appropriate activities, but they do not have as high a priority as having adequate nutrition. Although the patient's activity level will be gradually increased, rest is indicated during the acute phase of hepatitis. Rationale: The disease progression can be stopped or reversed by alcohol abstinence. Rationale: The complications of diabetes are related to elevated blood glucose, and the most important patient outcome is the reduction of glucose to near-normal levels. The other outcomes are also appropriate but are not as high in priority. Rationale: The change in exercise will affect blood glucose, and the patient will need to monitor glucose carefully to determine the need for changes in diet and insulin administration. Rationale: The blood in the GI tract will be absorbed as protein and may result in an increase in ammonia level since the liver cannot metabolize protein well. Rationale: Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic and will help to increase the patient's potassium level. Rationale: Rebound hypoglycemia can occur after glucagon administration, but having a meal containing complex carbohydrates plus protein and fat will help prevent hypoglycemia.

Rationale: Exercise is essential to decrease insulin resistance and improve blood glucose control. Increased energy, improved cardiovascular endurance, and setting a pattern of success are secondary benefits of exercise, but they are not the major reason. Rationale: Consistency for mealtimes assists with regulation of blood glucose, so the best option is for the patient to have lunch at the usual time. Rationale: Blood sugar increases after meals, so this will be the best time to exercise. Rationale: Before planning education, the nurse should assess the patient's interest in and ability to self- manage the diabetes. Rationale: An increase in abdominal girth would indicate that the ascites is increasing, meaning that the client's condition is becoming more serious and should be reported to the health-care provider. Rationale: Amylase is elevated early in acute pancreatitis. Rationale: Alcohol use is one of the most common risk factors for pancreatitis in the United States. Cigarette smoking, diabetes, and high-protein diets are not risk factors. Rationale: Airway obstruction and aspiration of gastric contents are potential serious complications of balloon tamponade. Frequent assessment of the client's respiratory status is the priority. Rashes are not an adverse effect caused by taking metformin and prednisone simultaneously. Radiation therapy isn't curative, can't eliminate the malignant cells (though it helps define tumor margins), can could slow postoperative healing. Radiation therapy is used to treat colon cancer before surgery to reduce the size of the tumor, making it easier to be resected. Radiation therapy is used to treat colon cancer before surgery for which of the following reasons? Proliferative retinopathy is often treated using: Prediabetes is associated with all of the following except: potentially causing acidosis that can lead to a diabetic coma. Positioning the client in a right side-lying position with a pillow under the biopsy site reflects proper care. Physician's orders for a client with acute pancreatitis include the following: strict NPO, NG tube to low intermittent suction. The nurse recognizes that these interventions will: Physical exercise slows the progression of diabetes mellitus, because exercise has beneficial effects on carbohydrate metabolism and insulin sensitivity.

Persons with elevated glucose levels that do not yet meet the criteria for diabetes are considered to have prediabetes and are at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Weight loss and increasing physical activity can help people with prediabetes prevent or postpone the onset of type 2 diabetes. Patients who are using intensified insulin therapy have considerable flexibility in diet choices but still should restrict dietary intake of items such as fat, protein, and alcohol. Passive range of motion will not take pressure off areas like the sacrum that are vulnerable to breakdown. Parathyroid hormone levels may be high or normal but not low. Overweight with waist/hip ratio increase is part of the metabolic syndrome of DM II. Orange juice and nonfat milk will elevate blood sugar rapidly, but the cheese and crackers will stabilize blood sugar. One of the benefits of Glargine (Lantus) insulin is its ability to: Of which of the following symptoms might an older woman with diabetes mellitus complain? NPH insulin will not peak until mid-afternoon and is safe to take before a morning run. Mr. L. has a seven-year history of hepatic cirrhosis. He was brought to the emergency room because he began vomiting large amounts of dark-red blood. An Esophageal Balloon Tamponade tube was inserted to tamponade the bleeding esophageal varices. While the balloon tamponade is in place, the nurse caring for Mr. L. gives the highest priority to Meats and beans are high-protein foods and are restricted with liver failure. low fiber, high fat diet reduced motility and increases the chance of constipation. The metabolic end products of this type of diet are carcinogenic. A LOW FAT HIGH FIBER diet is recommended to help avoid colon cancer. Carbohydrates and protein aren't necessarily associated with colon cancer. Loop diuretics (such as furosemide) are usually ordered, and Maalox® (a bismuth subsalicylate) may interfere with the action of the diuretics. Liver biopsy: - ansRight side position post procedure to prevent patient from bleeding. It is recommended that carbohydrates provide 50% to 60% of the daily calories. Approximately 40% to 50% should be from complex carbohydrates. The remaining 10% to 20% of carbohydrates could be from simple sugars. Research provides no evidence that carbohydrates from simple sugars are digested and absorbed more rapidly than are complex carbohydrates, and they do not appear to affect blood sugar control. Intravenous fluid replacement is similar to that administered in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and begins with IV infusion of normal saline.

HHNS occurs only in people with Type II Diabetes. It is a medical emergency and has a higher mortality rate than Diabetic Ketoacidosis. This condition develops very slowly over hours or days. Hepatitis B is transmitted through parenteral drug abuse and sexual contact. Heating pad use should be avoided. he goal for pre-prandial blood glucose for those with Type 1 diabetes mellitus is: HbgA1c is a blood test used to determine how well blood glucose has been controlled for the last three months. Glycosylated hemoglobins are not used to test for short-term alterations in blood glucose. Glycosylated hemoglobin levels will not be elevated in IFG and the Hb A1C test is not included in prediabetes testing. Elevated insulin levels do not cause the damage to blood vessels that can occur with IFG. The liver does not produce increased levels of glucose in IFG Glucagon might be given if the patient's symptoms become worse or if the patient is unconscious. Glargine (Lantus) insulin is designed to release insulin evenly throughout the day and control basal glucose levels. Gestational diabetes can occur between the 16th and 28th week of pregnancy. Fluid restriction is a primary treatment for ascites. Restricting fluids decreases the amount of fluid present in the body, thereby decreasing the fluid that accumulates in the peritoneal space. Fluid overload, hypovolemia, and cardiovascular collapse are possible complications of DKA, but cardiac monitoring would not detect theses. Fluid is restricted to prevent fluid overload rather than replaced. As the urine becomes more concentrated, the specific gravity increases. Other symptoms include nausea, vomiting, seizures, altered mentation, and coma. Fluid and electrolyte imbalances will be caused by NG suction and require that the patient receive IV fluids to prevent this. Fever isn't associated with colon cancer. f. The mother should strive to gain no more weight during the pregnancy. - ansANS: A, B, C, D Exposure to a jaundiced individual and a history of IV drug use are risk factors for VIRAL hepatitis. ed rest is only required for several hours. Eating small meals with two or three snacks may be more helpful in maintaining blood glucose levels than three large meals.
