Which disorder is related to breaking down fats for energy in clients with type 1 diabetes?

Choice A rationale

Ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease are both types of inflammatory bowel disease, a term used to describe conditions that cause chronic inflammation of the digestive tract.

Choice B rationale

While Crohn’s disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease, volvulus is a condition where a segment of the intestine twists upon itself, causing bowel obstruction.

Choice C rationale

Intussusception is a serious condition in which part of the intestine slides into an adjacent part of the intestine, and ulcerative colitis is a type of inflammatory bowel disease. However, intussusception is not considered an inflammatory bowel disorder.

Choice D rationale

Intussusception and volvulus are both conditions that can cause bowel obstruction, but they are not considered inflammatory bowel disorders.

Choice A rationale

An exaggerated stress response in a client with type 1 diabetes would not cause higher blood sugar readings through the release of insulin. In fact, stress tends to increase blood sugar levels.

Choice B rationale

The release of glucocorticoids during stress does not typically cause lower blood sugar readings. Glucocorticoids tend to raise blood sugar levels.

Choice C rationale

An exaggerated stress response can cause higher blood sugar readings through the release of glucocorticoids. Stress hormones like glucocorticoids interfere with insulin’s ability to move glucose from the blood into the cells, leading to an increase in blood sugar levels.

Choice D rationale

An exaggerated stress response would not cause lower blood sugar readings through the release of insulin. Stress typically raises, not lowers, blood sugar levels.
