Mr. P is a newly diagnosed diabetic client in for his first visit with the nurse educator. His biggest complaint is frequent urination that interferes with his job and his sleep. The best response the nurse can make is that:
1. "Once your blood sugar is less than 200 you won't be as thirsty and so won't urinate as frequently.". 2. "Without enough insulin, glucose is not absorbed into the cells but is excreted by the kidneys along with large amounts of water causing frequent urination.". 3. "Frequent urination is a common event with diabetes and should be expected to continue regardless of how well your blood sugar is controlled.". 4. "Limiting the amount of fluids in the evening may help to decrease the number of times you wake up during the night to urinate.".
