100
This type of insulin is rapid acting
What is Lispro (Humalog) Aspart (NovoLog) and Glulisine (Apidra)
100
A chronic multisystem disease related to abnormal insulin production, impaired insulin utilization or both
What is Diabetes Mellitus
100
A nurse observes a diabetic patient with a serum glucose of 284 mg/dL and is unresponsive, the nurse observes this type of breathing when a patient is in diabetic ketoacidosis
What is rapid, deep respirations, also known as Kussmaul Respirations
100
Nurses rotate sites of injection when administering insulin to avoid this
What is lipodystrophy
100
A patient takes a OGTT (oral glucose tolerance test) and gets a result of 175 mg/dL; these results indicate that the patient is this
What is Prediabetic
200
Glargine (Lantus) and Dtemir (Levemir) are this type of insulin
What is long acting insulin
200
Insulin is produced in these cells
What is the Beta Cells in the Islets of Langerhans
200
The nurse observes her patient having tremors along with an increased heart rate. The patient complains of a headache and difficulty paying attention. The nurse suspects this based on her findings
What is hypoglycemia
200
This type of insulin appears cloudy when drawn back into a syringe
What is NPH insulin
200
A fasting plasma glucose level that is considered normal
What is less than 100 mg/dL
300
These are two types of long-acting insulin
What is glargine and detemir
300
These counter-regulatory hormones work to oppose the effect of insulin
What are glucagon, epinephrine, growth hormone and cortisol
300
While inspecting the skin of a patient with uncontrolled Diabetes, the nurse notices areas of pigmented lesions on the patients foot. The nurse documents her findings as this
What is an ulcer
300
A rebound effect in which an overdose of insulin induces hypoglycemia, generally occurring during the hours of sleep
What is the Somogyi Effect
300
This test is used to determine if a pregnant mother has gestational diabetes
What is an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)
400
Metformin (glucophage) is classified as this
What is an oral hypoglycemics
400
This is a microvascular complication associated with damage to the small blood vessels that supply the glomeruli of the kidney
What is Diabetic Nephropathy
400
A nurse suspects their patient has this when they present with these assessment findings; dry mouth, thirst, abdominal pain, N&V, restlessness, confusion, flushed skin, fruity breath odor, labored breathing and urinary frequency
What is Diabetic Ketoacidosis
400
Because diabetics have a defect in the mobilization of inflammatory cells and an impairment of phagocytosis by neutrophils and monocytes, they are more prone to this
What is infection
400
This test measures the amount of glycosylated hemoglobin
What is A1C
500
When administering insulin, it is important for the nurse to observe for this electrolyte imbalance
What is potassium
500
Caused by a relative lack of insulin or resistance to the action; usually, insulin is sufficient to stabilize fat and protein metabolism but not carbohydrate metabolism
What is Type 2 Diabetes
500
A nurse is assessing a diabetic patient. The patient exclaims that at times they have a tingling sensation on their feet. The nurse suspects the patient is experiencing this complication of diabetes
What is peripheral neuropathy
500
The prevalence of diabetes increases with age due to this major reason
What is reduction of Beta Cell function
500
Are two diagnostic tests for Diabetes
What is plasma glucose (fasting or not) and two-hour OGTT
