Question 1
Type: MCSA
A patient with diabetes mellitus and poor circulation has thick and ingrown toenails. What should the nurse
instruct the patient to do?
1. Soak feet in Epsom salts daily.
2. Use a clean sharp razor blade to trim nails.
3. Make an appointment with a podiatrist.
4. Cut toenails immediately prior to bathing.
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: There is no indication for this patient to soak feet daily in Epsom salts.
Rationale 2: The use of a clean sharp razor could cause an injury.
Rationale 3: The toenails of the patient with diabetes require close care. If the nails are thick or ingrown, they
require the attention of a podiatrist.
Rationale 4: Cutting the nails before a bath would be difficult because the nails are thick and ingrown.
Global Rationale: The toenails of the patient with diabetes require close care. If the nails are thick or ingrown,
they require the attention of a podiatrist. Cutting the nails before a bath would be difficult because the nails are
thick and ingrown. There is no indication of a need for soaking feet daily in Epsom salts.

Question 3
Type: MCSA
A patient at risk for the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus asks why weight loss will reduce risk of the
condition. Which response by the nurse is most accurate?
1. “The amount of foods taken in require more insulin to adequately metabolize them, resulting in diabetes.”
2. “Excess body weight impairs the body’s release of insulin.”
3. “Thin people are less likely to become diabetic.”
4. “The physical inactivity associated with obesity causes a reduced ability by the body to produce insulin.”
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: This is not a true statement.
Rationale 2: Beta cells of the body release insulin. Their actions are hindered as the amount of adipose tissue in
the body increases.
Rationale 3: While obesity is a risk factor for the development of diabetes, this does not answer the patient’s
question.
Rationale 4: Inactivity is directly linked to obesity, but it does not present a direct tie to the production of insulin.
Global Rationale: Beta cells of the body release insulin. Their actions are hindered as the amount of adipose
tissue in the body increases. The amount of food ingested does not mean that diabetes will develop because more
insulin is needed to process the food eaten. While obesity is a risk factor for the development of diabetes, this
does not answer the patient’s question. Inactivity is directly linked to obesity, but it does not present a direct tie to
the production of insulin.
