Answer:

A. Type 1 diabetes usually has abrupt onset of symptoms, while the symptoms of type 2 diabetes may be subtle

Rationale: 

Types 1 and 2 diabetes have similarities and differences, which should be reviewed when teaching patients about this chronic disease. Many more people are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes compared to type 1. When providing information, the nurse should teach patients that type 1 diabetes causes an abrupt onset of symptoms, while type 2 is more subtle; some people with type 2 diabetes are not even aware that they have the disease.

Answer:

B. The patient is positioned on the trolley and then wheeled into the bathroom

D. The nurse washes the patient while he is in the trolley while using the shower nozzle

Rationale: 

A shower trolley is a type of bed on wheels that can be used to transport a patient into the shower for bathing. The patient is placed on the trolley, which has sides to prevent the patient from falling out. The nurse showers the patient in a normal shower with a nozzle before drying the patient and transporting him back to bed.
