Answer to Question 1

1
Protein in the diet increases the amount of nitrogen waste the kidney must handle. Protein does not have low biological value. Protein does not increase calcium and sodium levels. A deficit in protein metabolism does not break down muscle tissue.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Macrovascular complications associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus can be controlled by addressing the modifiable risk factors. The risk factors include obesity, smoking, sedentary lifestyle, high blood pressure, and fat intake. This is what the nurse should include in the instructions to this client. The client should not be instructed to ingest alcohol every day.
