Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D, E
Diabetes type 2 symptoms are insidious and patients present when symptoms may have been apparent for a prolonged time. Polydipsia, a 10-pound weight loss over this short period (1 month), polyphagia, and ketoacidosis are associated with type 1 diabetes. Onset of diabetes type 2 symptoms is usually in the fourth decade of life. Impotence is a symptom associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, D, E
Meal planning systems are used with the diabetic patient. The consistent carbohydrate diabetes meal plan is used, with an emphasis on consistency of timing of meals and snacks. Daily meals and snacks provide 1500 to 2000 calories, with 50 of the calories from carbohydrates, 20 from protein, and 30 from fat. Individualized adjustments may be required with children, adolescents, metabolically stressed patients, pregnant women, and geriatric patients. Specific daily caloric requirement is not a primary consideration in calculating calorie requirements for a diabetic patient.
