Answer to Question 1

D
Diabetic clients experiencing difficulty with blood sugar control are prone to the development of peripheral neuropathy, which results in decreased sensation in the feet and lower extremities. Decreased sensation in the feet places the client at increased risk for development of wounds or pressure ulcers in the feet. The nurse will know this plan of care is effective when the client's feet remain free of wounds. An aggressive exercise program would not be appropriate for a client with severely diminished sensation in the feet. Similarly, a 1,200-calorie diet would be inadequate for most clients. Being fitted for diabetic footwear is an intervention rather than a goal.

Answer to Question 2

D
Hypervolemia results from retention of sodium and water. Blood pressure rises, the pulse is bounding, and neck veins become distended owing to increased intravascular volume.
