SCI 225 Week 16 Pathophysiology Final Exam (Proctored) 2023
Question 1
1 / 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
0 / 1 pts
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.
