QOD-18 Type 1 vs Type 2 Diabetes (Endocrine/Metabolic/Health Promotion and Maintenance)
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.
