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.
