Answer to Question 1

2. It means your pancreas cannot secrete insulin..
3. The endocrine function of your pancreas is to secrete insulin..
5. Without insulin you will develop ketoacidosis..

Rationale:
One function of the pancreas is to secrete insulin. The endocrine function of the pancreas is to secrete insulin. A consequence of diabetes mellitus type 1 is that without insulin, severe metabolic disturbances, such as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) will result. The endocrine, not the exocrine, function of the pancreas is to secrete insulin.Insulin is secreted by the beta, not the alpha, cells of the pancreas.

Answer to Question 2

3. Alteration in cognition

Rationale: The early manifestations of a urinary infection differ in a senior from those seen in younger adults. Older adult clients will often be asymptomatic until there are changes in the level of consciousnesses.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
