Description

Can you please help answer the following questions. 2 pages per question and at least 2 references per question. Please answer thoroughly and correctly. Cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format. References no more than 5 years old. Thank you

Question 1

Choose a health disease process( Diabetes type 2) that is common in the adult population. Once you have decided on your topic (Diabetes type 2), research two evidence-based articles. Do not look for less common and seldom-seen diseases; instead, look for the typical problems that you anticipate seeing in your practice as an advanced practice nurse. On the basis of the literature search and adult disease process, also discuss what parts of the complete health history would be essential in understanding a patient’s current health state and work-up completed to date.

Question 2

Differential diagnoses must be considered before choosing a final diagnosis. What criteria must be met before a final diagnosis can be made? Give an example of three differential diagnoses for a patient who complains of a sore throat. Support your differential diagnoses with a brief statement of reason. You do not have to have a final diagnosis for this patient; just work up the differential diagnoses. This is a common complaint for many patients.

TYPE 2 DIABETES AND SORE THROAT

2

Type 2 diabetes, sometimes referred to as adult onset, is a chronic disease that affects the
process of metabolisms of glucose/sugar, which is the major source of energy in the body.
Although the diseases are currently increasing its effects on children and young people, it is
much more common among the adult population, aged 45 years and above. The disease process
begins with the dysfunction in the pancreases for secretion of the hormone insulin, which is
responsible for regulation of the body sugar levels. The dysfunction may occur either as a failure
to produce enough insulin required for maintenance of normal body glucose level, or it may
result from the body resistance of the effects of the hormone insulin. The two conditions can
occur concurrently, with either of the case resulting in impaired glucose transportation and
hyperglycemia (Morris et al., 2012). The transportation of glucose across the body cell
membrane in adipose tissue and peripheral muscle is interfered with, and the condition leads to
defective energy production and oxidation. The condition not only impairs protein, fat and
carbohydrate metabolism; but also interferes with the glycogen storage in the liver and muscles,
and triglycerides and fatty acids storage in the adipose tissues. The cell transport of amino acids
is disrupted. There is glucose overproduction, caused by unrestrained glycogenolytic and
gluconeogenic processes in the liver. The rising glucose levels hinder glucose reabsorption by
the renal tubules. As a result, osmotic diuresis and glycosuria are produced, with a lot of water
and electrolyte being lost through urine. The high blood glucose/blood sugar levels
(hyperglycemia) also causes the myeli...
