When developing a care plan for a patient with type 1 diabetes, the nurse should consider which pathophysiological concept?
A) In type 1 diabetes, there is a complete lack of insulin secretion.
B) In type 1 diabetes, there is a relative deficiency in insulin.
C) In type 1 diabetes, there is insulin resistance.
D) In type 1 diabetes, there is an over secretion of insulin.
A) In type 1 diabetes, there is a complete lack of insulin secretion.
Explanation: A) People with type 1 diabetes have an almost complete lack of insulin secretion, and the insulin deficiency is considered total or absolute. People with type 2 diabetes have a relative insulin deficiency (i.e., the insulin secretion is too low in relation to the blood glucose level) and insulin resistance (i.e., the endogenous insulin is unable to produce its biological response).
B) People with type 1 diabetes have an almost complete lack of insulin secretion, and the insulin deficiency is considered total or absolute. People with type 2 diabetes have a relative insulin deficiency (i.e., the insulin secretion is too low in relation to the blood glucose level) and insulin resistance (i.e., the endogenous insulin is unable to produce its biological response).
C) People with type 1 diabetes have an almost complete lack of insulin secretion, and the insulin deficiency is considered total or absolute. People with type 2 diabetes have a relative insulin deficiency (i.e., the insulin secretion is too low in relation to the blood glucose level) and insulin resistance (i.e., the endogenous insulin is unable to produce its biological response).
D) People with type 1 diabetes have an almost complete lack of insulin secretion, and the insulin deficiency is considered total or absolute. People with type 2 diabetes have a relative insulin deficiency (i.e., the insulin secretion is too low in relation to the blood glucose level) and insulin resistance (i.e., the endogenous insulin is unable to produce its biological response).

You are the nurse who is collecting specific data related to risk factors, health indicators, and health outcomes that determine the burden of disease. What specific data would HALE yield about health indicators and outcomes?
A) Average number of years a newborn is expected to live if current mortality rates continue to apply. B) Average number of years that a person can expect to live in "full health" by taking into account years lived in less than full health due to disease and/or injury. C) Quantifying the burden of disease to a healthy life. The loss of years related to burden of disease. The gap in years reflects the current state of health versus an optimum state of health of a nation. D) Quantifying the burden of acute illness to a healthy life. The loss of years related to burden of acute illness. The gap in years reflects the current state of health versus an optimum state of health of a nation.
