The blood sugar (glucose) level of a diabetic patient is approximately $0.140 \mathrm{~g}$ of glucose $100 \mathrm{~mL}$ of blood. Every time the patient ingests $40 \mathrm{~g}$ of glucose, her blood glucose level rises to approximately $0.240 \mathrm{~g} / 100 \mathrm{~mL}$ of blood. Calculate the number of moles of glucose per milliliter of blood and the total number of moles and grams of glucose in the blood before and after consumption of glucose. (Assume that the total volume of blood in her body is $5.0 \mathrm{~L}$.)

In the blood glucose example, the increase in blood glucose corresponds to which step of a reflex pathway? Insulin secretion and the decrease in blood glucose correspond to which steps?

For dilute aqueous solutions in which the density of th solution is roughly equal to that of the pure solvent, the molarity of the solution is equal to its molality. Show that this statement is correct for a $0.010 M$ aqueous urea $\left(\mathrm{NH}_2\right)_2 \mathrm{CO}$ solution.

How should diabetics monitor their glucose with physical activity?

A client with diabetes mellitus calls the clinic nurse to report that the blood glucose level is 150 mg/dL. After obtaining further data from the client, the nurse determines that the client ate lunch approximately 2 hours ago. The nurse would interpret these results to be:

Explain why a temporary drop in blood glucose concentration may impair nervous system functioning.

For someone with diabetes mellitus, high blood glucose levels may be caused by high intakes of ____________.

When a nurse assesses a client receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN), which laboratory value is most important for the nurse to monitor regularly?

A. Albumin

B. Calcium

C. Glucose

D. Alkaline phosphatase

A client with diabetes mellitus has a blood glucose level of 40 mg/dL. Which rapidly absorbed carbohydrate would be most effective?

A client newly diagnosed with diabetes mellitus is having difficulty learning the technique of blood glucose measurement. The nurse should teach the client to do which of the following to perform the procedure properly?

(a) How does the amperometric glucose monitor in earlier Figure work?

(b) Why is a mediator advantageous in the glucose monitor?

(c) How does the coulometric glucose monitor in earlier Figure work?

A patient has a blood glucose level drawn for suspected hyperglycemia. After interviewing the client, the nurse determines that the client ate lunch approximately 2 hours before the blood specimen was drawn. The laboratory reports the blood glucose to be 180 mg/dL. How should the nurse analyze this result?

Which of the following nursing implications is most important in a client being medicated for Addison's disease?

a. Administer oral forms of the drug with food to minimize its ulcerogenic effect.

b. Monitor capillary blood glucose for hypoglycemia in the diabetic client.

c. Instruct the client to never abruptly discontinue the medication.

d. Teach the client to consume a diet that is high in potassium, low in sodium, and high in protein.

The nurse assesses a child in 90-90 traction. Where should the nurse assess for signs of compartment syndrome?
