| a. | Protein synthesis is increased. |
| b. | Increased fat breakdown leads to ketonemia. |
| c. | Serum glucose levels are markedly decreased. |
| d. | More rapid conversion and storage of carbohydrates to glucose occurs. |
ANS: B
When insulin is deficient, the body cannot metabolize carbohydrates for energy. The body is also unable to store and use fat properly. Incomplete fat metabolism produces ketone bodies that accumulate in the blood.

| a. | There is an absolute deficiency of insulin. |
| b. | Insufficient quantities of insulin are produced by the pancreas. |
| c. | Oral hypoglycemic agents can control it. |
| d. | Insulin deficiency is caused by another disease affecting the pancreas. |

| a. | Notify the charge nurse. |
| b. | Give the patient a snack of graham crackers and milk. |
| c. | Ambulate the patient in the hall for a short time. |
| d. | Give the patient more insulin according to the sliding scale. |

| a. | Walk the patient in the hall for 10 minutes. |
| b. | Allow the patient a short nap. |
| c. | Give her a cup of orange juice. |
| d. | Test her blood with a glucometer and give insulin according to the sliding scale. |
ANS: C
The immediate remedy is to give orange juice to raise the blood glucose. Giving more sugar will increase the blood glucose in a hyperglycemic child. Walking exercise will use up even more glucose. The treatment for hyperglycemia is to give the patient more insulin.
