Septic shock treatment is aimed at:

A. Laxatives are used to relieve constipation by promoting bowel movements, not for treating diarrhea.

B. Antimotility agents work by slowing down the movement of the intestines, which can reduce diarrhea, but they do not specifically absorb excess fluid in the fecal matter.

C. Adsorbents, such as activated charcoal or kaolin-pectin, work by absorbing excess fluid in the fecal matter in the colon, which helps to reduce diarrhea without affecting transport processes across the intestinal membranes.

D. Bulk-forming agents, like psyllium, absorb water and increase the bulk of stool, which is used for constipation rather than diarrhea.

A. A random blood sugar of 150 mg/dL is within an acceptable range for someone with diabetes, though it may suggest some fluctuation in blood glucose levels. It does not definitively indicate poor control of diabetes.

B. There are multiple methods to determine if diabetes is under tight control, including blood glucose monitoring and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) testing.

C. A reduced glycosylated hemoglobin level would indicate that blood glucose levels have been well-controlled over the past few months, suggesting that the patient is in tight control.

D. An elevated glycosylated hemoglobin level indicates that the patient's average blood glucose levels have been higher than recommended over the past 2-3 months, suggesting poor control of diabetes despite the patient's reported blood sugar levels. HbA1c is a key indicator of long-term glucose control.
