Answer to Question 1

B
Long-term complications of diabetes mellitus include retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy. Diabetes mellitus can increase risk and severity of infection indirectly due to poor circulation and high blood glucose levels, but immunity is not impaired. Arthritis, rheumatism, osteoporosis, dermatitis, nephritic syndrome, and detached retina are not associated with diabetes.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
To minimize stimulation to the bowel, it is recommended that clients switch to a low-fiber diet.
