This document contains homework assignments for Week Two of Concepts of Adult Health Nursing for the Practical Nurse 1 (NUR 176) at Hondros College of Nursing. It is designed for students enrolled in this specific course to reinforce learning related to glucose regulation.
This assignment focuses on Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, covering etiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic tests, and medical management. It’s intended to be completed after lecture and assigned readings to assess understanding of core concepts.
This preview only includes a glimpse of the topics covered – specifically, an overview of Type 2 Diabetes, diagnostic test ranges, and a few examples of oral hypoglycemic medications (metformin, glipizide, empagliflozin) with basic side effect information. The full assignment includes detailed reading assignments from multiple textbooks (Giddens, Cooper, Silvestri, Willihnganz/Clayton), and a more comprehensive drug table. It does *not* provide answers or solutions to any potential assignment questions.
