Answer to Question 1

Maintain healthy glucose levels, maintain normal blood pressure, and maintain healthy lipid levels. Also, because approximately 80 of type 2 clients are overweight, these clients may be placed on weight reduction diets to help achieve blood glucose levels that are within acceptable range. Thus, monitoring their weight loss also becomes part of their therapy.

Answer to Question 2

Iron must be chemically changed to ferrous iron prior to absorption. This chemical action occurs in the stomach through the action of hydrochloric acid. Absorption can be enhanced by consuming foods with vitamin C at the same time as a food rich in iron. Vitamin C keeps the iron in the correct form for absorption. A meat protein factor is found in meat, poultry, and fish that also aids in the absorption of iron.
