pathways.
Her temporal bone is experiencing unusually rapid resorption.
Her tympanic cavity is becoming filled with bone due to inappropriate osteogenesis.
Question 4.
A three-year-old girl has just been diagnosed with type 1A diabetes and her parents are
currently receiving education from the diabetes education nurse at the hospital where their
,daughter is receiving treatment. How can the nurse best explain the etiology of their daughter's
health problem to her parents?
“The problem that underlies her diabetes is that her own body has destroyed the
cells in her pancreas that produce insulin.”
“It's not known exactly why your daughter has completely stopped making insulin, and
treatment will consist of your rigidly controlling her diet.”
“This tendency to produce insufficient amounts of insulin is likely something that she
inherited.”
“Environmental and lifestyle factors are known to play a part in the fact that her
pancreas secretes and withholds insulin at the wrong times.”

risks is most accurate?

damage to your hypothalamus.”
“GH excess inhibits your pancreas from producing enough
insulin.”

result in damage to your liver.”
“When your pituitary gland is enlarged, there's a real
risk that you'll develop some sight deficiencies.
