Smoking increases the female client's risk of developing gynecological malignancies. Alcohol intake, being overweight, and having a history of constipation do not increase a client's risk of developing the disorder.

Answer to Question 2

2
The diet plan is individualized for each client. The food plan will have an emphasis on maintaining blood glucose levels, lowering blood pressure, and reducing weight since there is a high incidence of obesity in clients with type 2 diabetes. Alcohol can be part of a diet plan if in moderation. Sharing a couple of bottles of wine would not be alcohol in moderation. The food plan is combined with exercise, blood glucose testing, and medications (if needed). The client should be instructed to not skip meals. The client should be instructed to not take any medication prior to testing. The client should be instructed that alcohol intake should be in moderation.
