Answer to Question 1

2
Persons with type 2 diabetes control their blood glucose levels with diet, exercise, and medications. Type 1 diabetes mellitus is characterized by a destruction of beta cells. Not every person who gains weight develops diabetes mellitus. Insulin is not necessary for the client diagnosed with type 2 diabetes at first, but as the beta cells continue to deteriorate, insulin may be necessary.

Answer to Question 2

2
In the client diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome, there is an increase in protein in the urine. Hematuria and oliguria are uncommon assessment findings in this disorder. Glucosuria would be associated with a client diagnosed with diabetes mellitus.
