Expert Solution

Steps to give insulin :- 1. Clean the site before giving the insulin.

2. Pinch the skin fold.

3. Insert the needle straight to the site wherever u want to give like upper arms, abdomen, thighs, back and hips.

4. Administer the insulin dose complete and pull out the needle.

5. Site should be change every time to prevent from lipodystrophy.

Steps of Dressing change in diabetic wound:-1. Explain the procedure to the patient.

2. Wash hands and wear unsterile glows.

3. Remove the old dressing.

4. Remove the unsterile glows and senitize the hand and wear sterile glows.

5. Remove the dead skin and clean the wound with normal saline.

6. Apply dressing according to the condition of wound, like non adhesive for normal wound, foam and alginate for heavy exuding wound, hydrogel if wound have necrotic tissues, mepilex dressing etc.

7. Cover the dressing with bandage.

8. Left the patient with comfort.

9. Note all the findings in detail.

why is insulin important to a diabetic patient?

The insulin pump is a device that delivers insulin to a diabetic patient at regular intervals....

The insulin pump is a device that delivers insulin to a diabetic patient at regular intervals. It presumably regulates insulin better that standard injections. However, data to establish this point are few, especially in children. The following study was set up to assess the effect of use of the insulin pump on HbgA1c, which is a long term marker of compliance with insulin protocol. In general, a normal range for HgbA1c is < 7%. Data were collected on 256 diabetic...

Insulin binding capacity was measured for a sample of diabetic rats treated with a low dose of insulin and another sample of diabetic rats treated with a high dose of insulin, yielding the following sample statistics: low dose: n1=11, Ybar1=1.37, S1=0.62 high dose: n2=13, Ybar2=1.05, S2=0.84 Means and standard deviations are in grams. Consider the main t-test for population means Ho: Mu1=Mu2. Ha: Mu1>Mu2. let alpha=0.05 a. Find the pooled test statistic t'. Find the P-value. Give the Critical Region....

Low and high levels of insulin doses are given to two groups of diabetic rats to check the insulin binding capacity, yielding the following data. Assuming both variances are equal, give a 95% confidence interval for the difference of the true average insulin-binding capacity between two samples. Low Insulin level: sample size = 8; mean=1.98; std., deviation = .51 High insulin level:sample size = 13; mean=1.30; std., deviation = .35

A 9 monthold boy is insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (DDM) was seen in a pediatric diabetic clinic in London. He was well and had no gastrointestical symptoms. He was screened for antibodies. The screening test has a sensitivity of .93 and specificity of .90. The prevalence is 4.5 It was estimated that the patient.s CD willo be 4.5%. What will his post test probability be?

A nurse makes a teaching plan for a diabetic patient that incorporates (1) patient knowledge of diabetes and the diabetic diet; (2) skill in self-administration of insulin; and (3) patient acceptance of diabetes and personal responsibility for self-management. This teaching plan addresses which of the following domains of learning? A.) cognitive and psychomotor B.) psychomotor and affective C.) cognitive, psychomotor, and effective D.) cognitive
