Question 2

When the client eats lunch, serum glucose levels rise. As the pancreas releases insulin to push glucose into the cell, serum glucose levels decline. Normal serum glucose levels signal the pancreas to stop secreting insulin.

The nurse describes this process as: 1. Positive feedback.
2. Homeostasis.
3. Negative feedback.
4. Diabetes mellitus.

Answer to Question 1

1,2,3,4
Rationale: Talking with supportive others will help with the resolution of the grieving process.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: Negative feedback is the signal sent by the body to turn off hormone secretion in order to maintain homeostasis. The normal serum glucose level acts as a negative feedback mechanism for the pancreas, turning off the secretion of insulin. Homeostasis is the balance the body affects in order to maintain normal function. Positive feedback stimulates the body to do something. Diabetes mellitus is a disease process characterized by abnormal glucose metabolism.
