The registered nurse asks the new orientee nurse what kind of problem a client hospitalized for endocrine dysfunction of the pancreas would expect. The new orientee nurse demonstrates understanding if which statement is made?

Answer 1

Insulin production will be decreased.

Step-by-step explanation:

Insulin helps in reducing levels of blood glucose, where glucagon's role is to increase blood glucose levels. In the case where people don't suffer from diabetes, insulin and glucagon work together in order to keep blood glucose levels balanced. When it comes to diabetes, it affect how the body will regulate blood glucose levels. In this condition, the body doesn't produce enough insulin or it doesn't respond in a proper way to insulin, causing an imbalance between those two. The body isn't able to produce enough insulin and then blood glucose become too high unless the insulin is injected and as a result we have type one diabetes. When the body isn't able to respond effectively to insulin, which results in higher than normal blood glucose levels, we have a type two diabetes. Medication for type two diabetes include type of medication which will help to increase already decreased insulin sensitivity, and they will stimulate the pancreas to release more insulin and chosen medication that will occupy the release of glucagon.
