Question

QUES : What percentage of women with GDM develop type 2 diabetes within 20-30 years?

Select one:

a. Less than 25%

b. up to 50%

c. 75% or more

d. 30% of inactive women develop type 2 diabetes after pregnancy

QUES : Prior to performing blood glucose monitoring on a patient in hospital you should:

Select one:

a. Check the patient is insulin requiring, as you only need to test BGLs on type 1 or insulin requiring type 2 patients

b. Use the patient’s meter if they have one, rather than the hospital meters. This will save on hospital supplies.

c. Check that the blood glucose meter is calibrated and the test strips are in date

d. Make sure they have had a meal containing carbohydrate prior to the test

QUES :Which of the following statements is true for Glycated Haemoglobin (HbA1c)?

Select one:

a. HbA1c should be measured every 2 months

b. HbA1c is only useful to monitor type 2 diabetes

c. HbA1c measurements must be done on fasting blood

d. Optimal diabetes control is indicated by an HbA1c result ≤7 % /53 mmol/L

e. This test is not used to diagnose diabetes

QUES :

A Basal Bolus insulin regimen means which of the following?

Select one:

a. A bolus dose of rapid acting insulin or a basal insulin is ordered

b. A ‘Pre Mixed’ insulin containing a combination of rapid acting and slow acting insulin is given twice daily

c. One dose of slow acting insulin and 3 doses of rapid acting insulin is given each day

d. All of the above

Answer 1

Question - 1

Ans - B Up to 50 %

Most of the studies proved that up to 50 % of women with GDM develop type 2 diabetes.

Question - 2

Ans - D Make sure they have had a meal containing carbohydrate prior to the test

This is the first and foremost thing you have to assure before performing glucose monitoring on a patient. Because, if the blood glucose level result comes low you can immediately feed the patient with carbohydrate-rich food which will ultimately help to increase the blood glucose level. ( Low blood glucose level may cause grave health issues )

Question - 3

Ans - A HbA1c should be measured every 2 months

Because red blood cells in the human body survive for 8-12 weeks before renewal, measuring glycated hemoglobin (or HbA1c) can be used to reflect average blood glucose levels over that duration, providing a useful longer-term gauge of blood glucose control.

All other options are wrong

Question - 4

Ans - C   One dose of slow-acting insulin and 3 doses of rapid-acting insulin is given each day

A basal-bolus routine involves taking a longer-acting form of insulin to keep blood glucose levels stable through periods of fasting and separate injections of shorter-acting insulin to prevent rises in blood glucose levels resulting from meals.

All other options are wrong
