,Question 1
pts
A patient with type 1 diabetes asks the nurse what causes polyuria. What is
the nurse’s best response? The symptom of polyuria in diabetes mellitus
(DM) is caused by:
a reduced ADH response caused by insulin deficiency.
the loss of protein across the glomerular membrane.
the production of ketones.
increased glucose in the urine.
The presence of glucose in the urine filtrate draws water into the tubules, causing
an "osmotic diuresis."
IncorrectQuestion 2

If a patient with diabetes has advanced glycosylation end products (AGEs), what
does
the nurse suspect is happening in the patient's body?
Increased ketone formation
AGEs cause tissue injury through a variety of mechanisms, including the production
of free radicals and the induction of microvascular/macrovascular disease. AGEs do
not affect ketone formation.
, Tissue/cellular injury
Dawn phenomenon
Reduction of chronic complications

Elevated ADH secretion in SIADH stimulates increased water reabsorption in the
distal and collecting tubules.
