Diseases Process
Patient was instructed on some precautions to prevent diabetes complications. Elevate lower extremities whenever sitting or lying to promote venous return and this decrease and prevent edema.
Patient was instructed on some precautions to prevent diabetes complications, such as, to do deep breathing exercises to promote lung expansion and prevent pulmonary congestion.
Patient was instructed on some precautions to prevent diabetes complications, such as, to follow a therapeutic diet, including adequate fluid intake to ensure proper nutrition and hydration. Drink fluids often. Drink about half a cup of water, tea or broth every hour.
Patient was instructed on diabetes with illness. Taking the medications, testing the blood glucose levels, and staying hydrated are all parts of managing the diabetes during sick days.
Patient was instructed on diabetes. Disease is cause by a lack of insulin, a hormone made in the pancreas that is essential for converting energy from food. Insulin is necessary for the body to process nutrients (carbohydrates, fats and proteins), and its absence cause high sugar levels in the blood.
Patient was instructed on diabetes. All body cells require glucose for energy. Glucose enters body cells with the help of a hormone called insulin, which acts somewhat like a gatekeeper. If the body becomes less responsive to insulin, or if the body is not producing insulin, glucose cannot pass through the cell wall and the cell "starves."
