When explaining the asthma action plan, the nurse will teach... the patient that a change in therapy is needed when the PEFR is less than L/minute ANS: 320 A PEFR less than 80% of the personal best indicates that the patient is in the yellow zone where changes in therapy are needed to prevent progression of the airway narrowing. Which statement by a nurse to a patient newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes is correct? a) Insulin is not used to control blood glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes. b) Complications of type 2 diabetes are less serious than those of type 1 diabetes. c) Changes in diet and exercise may control blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetes. d) Type 2 diabetes is usually diagnosed when the patient is admitted with a hyperglycemic coma. ANS: C For some patients with type 2 diabetes, changes in lifestyle are sufficient to achieve blood glucose control.
