Diabetes Test 2
Which diabetes-related claim is untrue?
"Explanation:
The prevalence of diabetes is increasing dramatically. The CDC reports an increase of more than three million cases in the two years from 2006 to 2008. By 2008, an estimated 8% of the U.S. population had diabetes."
Treatment for proliferative retinopathy frequently involves:
Explanation:
To protect vision, aberrant blood vessels are shrunk with scatter laser therapy. A treatment called as a vitrectomy is performed when there is substantial bleeding inside the eye. Pressure inside the eye is measured by a diagnostic procedure called tonometry. A diagnostic procedure called a fluorescein angiography tracks the passage of dye through the blood vessels in the retina and is used to find macular edema.
All of the following may result in hyperinsulinemia, with the exception of:
Explanation:
The presence of hyperinsulinemia suggests a problem with controlling blood sugar; the pancreas is working hard to create enough insulin to do so. A tumor of insulin-producing cells called an insulinoma, an overabundance of insulin-producing cells called nesidioblastosis, or insulin resistance can all result in hyperinsulinemia.
For a male born in 2000, the risk of developing diabetes is:
Explanation:
Adults in the United States are at a high risk of acquiring diabetes, according to the CDC. Hispanics/Latinos are most at danger, while females are more at risk than males.
Which of the following diabetes medications works by reducing the amount of glucose the liver produces?
Explanation:
By limiting the amount of glucose the liver produces, biguanides like metformin lower blood sugar levels. Meglitinides and sulfonylureas encourage the pancreatic beta cells to produce more insulin. Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors prevent the digestion of some sugars and starches, which lowers blood sugar levels.
Which of the following regimens provides type 1 diabetics with the best blood glucose control?
Explanation:
Because they cannot make insulin, people with type 1 diabetes need insulin and cannot be treated with oral anti-diabetic medications. The best blood glucose management is achieved by many daily injections of insulin timed to react to measured blood glucose levels; this may also avert or delay the retinal, renal, and neurological consequences of diabetes.
Which of the following actions doesn't aid in preventing diabetic complications?
Explanation:
There is no proof that patients with diabetes benefit from cutting out all sugar from their diet. For diabetics, managing and controlling their overall carbohydrate intake is crucial to maintaining healthy blood glucose levels. The reduction of blood lipids, blood pressure, and blood glucose levels can help to prevent diabetes-related problems.
What is the initial stage of the education process for diabetic self-management?
Explanation:
Assessment. The further steps in the DSME process include goal setting, planning, implementation, assessment, and monitoring (in that order). Although required, diagnosis and referral are not regarded as steps in the process of educating people about diabetes self-management.
All of the following advantages of utilizing an insulin pump, with the exception of
Explanation:
Although using an insulin pump has several benefits, including less jarring changes in blood sugar levels, greater dietary flexibility, and higher precision of insulin dosages and administration, it has also been linked to weight gain.
Except for: All of the above are used to diagnose diabetic neuropathies.
Explanation:
Electrical signal transmission through neurons is measured by nerve conduction studies, and electrical signal transmission to muscles is measured by electromyography. Internal organs that may be affected by neurological impairment can have their responsiveness and functionality evaluated using ultrasound. Examining the feet can help determine peripheral neuropathy and check the health of the skin. The MMPI is not utilized to evaluate diabetic neuropathy because it is a psychological exam.
According to current studies, which of the following is a result of maintaining a personal record of physical activity?
Explanation:
In a small-scale 2006 study, keeping a physical activity journal was linked to a greater sense of self-efficacy. Over the course of the six-week intervention period, those in the record-keeping group did not engage in significantly more physical activity than those who did not. They did, however, express a good attitude toward record-keeping, noting that it didn't take up a lot of their time and helped them think more deeply about their daily activities. There is no proof that keeping an activity log increases regimen adherence, gym or class attendance, or the perception of physical activity barriers.
