When assessing a patient with HIV-related lipodystrophy, the nurse would expect to find:
A) truncal obesity and hypoglycemia.
B) dyslipidemia and insulin resistance.
C) hypoglycemia and dyslipidemia.
D) increased subcutaneous fat deposits and truncal obesity.
B) dyslipidemia and insulin resistance.
Explanation: A) HIV-associated lipodystrophy syndrome refers to a collection of morphologic and metabolic abnormalities that include insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia, and fat redistribution (i.e., truncal obesity and peripheral wasting). Glucose intolerance and insulin resistance results in hyperglycemia (elevated blood glucose), and peripheral wasting results in decreased subcutaneous fat deposits in regions of the face, arms, legs, and buttocks.
B) HIV-associated lipodystrophy syndrome refers to a collection of morphologic and metabolic abnormalities that include insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia, and fat redistribution (i.e., truncal obesity and peripheral wasting). Glucose intolerance and insulin resistance results in hyperglycemia (elevated blood glucose), and peripheral wasting results in decreased subcutaneous fat deposits in regions of the face, arms, legs, and buttocks.
