Practice Question
A nurse is assessing a client with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
recurrent infections and slow wound healing
Rationale:
🟣 In type 2 diabetes, chronic hyperglycemia impairs immune function, making clients prone to frequent infections such as skin or urinary tract infections.
🟣 Elevated glucose levels also inhibit white blood cell activity and delay tissue repair, causing slow wound healing.
🟣 Other typical findings include polyuria, polydipsia, and blurred vision, stemming from osmotic diuresis.
🟣 Recognizing these manifestations helps nurses identify poor glycemic control early in disease management.
