Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, D, E
The classic signs of diabetes type 1 are polyuria (frequent urination), polyphagia (extreme hunger), and polydipsia (extreme thirst). Polydactyly is having more than five fingers or toes. Polyneuropathy is having an abnormal condition affecting multiple nerves.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, D, E
Sick-day rules are important to prevent diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). The child should take the normal dose of medication (the liver continues to produce glucose even when not eating) while trying to follow the meal plan. If solids are not tolerated, then offer liquids that contain calories. Check blood sugars every 4 hours while the child is ill, and check ketones with each instance of voiding. Be sure to notify the physician for any concerns.
