Patient is at risk to forms a cluster of metabolic dysregulations including insulin resistance, atherogenic dyslipidemia, central obesity, and hypertension. Patient may present with high blood pressure, central obesity, high triglycerides and

low HDL

Patient who is at risk may be due to an absolute or relative insulin deficiency or from a decreased response of the tissue to the circulating insulin (insulin resistance). Resulting in glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis, and a decreased uptake of glucose by the peripheral tissue which make the patient very thirsty, experiencing altered mental status, high serum osmolarity and high blood glucose level.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

Choice A rationale: This is incorrect.

Choice B rationale: This describes metabolic syndrome, a collection of risk factors, but not a direct complication of type 1 diabetes.

Choice C rationale: This describes hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state, which is more characteristic of severe hyperglycemia but not the most common complication in type 1 diabetes.

Choice D rationale: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a frequent and serious complication in type 1 diabetes, characterized by ketone formation due to the absence of insulin, leading to metabolic acidosis and potential life-threatening symptoms.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale: Gloves should be worn during direct contact with the client's skin. This is a standard precaution that applies to all clients, but especially to those with infectious diseases that can be transmitted through contact. Secondary syphilis is highly contagious and can be spread through direct contact with the skin lesions or mucous

membranes of an infected person.

Choice B rationale: This is incorrect because secondary syphilis requires more than standard precautions to prevent transmission.

Choice C rationale: This is incorrect because handwashing is a basic component of standard precautions and is not sufficient to prevent the spread of syphilis.

Choice D rationale: This is incorrect because a mask is not necessary for contact precautions, unless the client has respiratory symptoms or is undergoing aerosol- generating procedures.

A. BSE will reduce the risk of dying from breast cancer. B. BSE should be done daily while taking a bath or shower. C. Performing BSE after the menstrual period is more comfortable. D. Annual mammograms should be scheduled in addition to BSE.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale: BSE will not reduce the risk of dying from breast cancer, but it may help you detect breast cancer earlier, when it is more treatable.

Choice B rationale: BSE should be done once a month, preferably at the same time each month. For women who have menstrual periods, the best time to do BSE is a few days after the period ends, when the breasts are less tender and swollen. For women who do not have menstrual periods, such as those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or postmenopausal, they can choose a fixed date, such as the first day of each month, to do BSE.

Choice C rationale: For women who have menstrual periods, the best time to do BSE is a few days after the period ends, when the breasts are less tender and swollen. For women who do not have menstrual periods, such as those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or postmenopausal, they can choose a fixed date, such as the first day of each month, to do BSE.

Choice D rationale: Annual mammograms are recommended for women aged 40 and older, or earlier if they have a high risk of breast cancer and not all women. Women aged less than 30 years should undergo breast ultrasound instead.
