QUESTIONS 2022
"1. A patient with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus asks the nurse what ""type 2"" means in
relation to diabetes. The nurse explains to the patient that type 2 diabetes differsfrom type 1 diabetes

a. the pt is totally dependent on an outside source of insulin
b. there is a decreased insulin secretion and cellular resistance to insulin that is produced
c. the immune system destroys the pancreatic insulin-producing cells
d. the insulin precursor that is secreted by the pancreas is not activated by the liver

for the body's needs or the cells do not respond to the insulin appropriately. The other information
