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.

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.
