While conducting an educational session for a group of patients regarding the incidence and prevalence of diabetes, the nurse explains that approximately 25.1 million people have been diagnosed with the disorder, but 7.2 million people have not. Statistically, what is the percentage of people who have undiagnosed diabetes? Calculate to the first decimal point.
Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).
28.6%
To calculate this percentage the nurse should divide the number who are not diagnosed by the total number of people with the disorder or 7.2/25.1 = 0.286. Then multiply this value by 100 or 0.286 × 100 = 28.6%.
