A nurse is collecting data from a client who has diabetes mellitus. The client is confused, flushed, and has an acetone odor on his breath. The nurse should anticipate a prescription for which of the following types of insulin to treat the client?

Choice A Reason: Buffalo hump and moon face are physical assessment findings that the nurse would expect to observe in a client with Cushing's syndrome, as they indicate fat redistribution and accumulation due to excess cortisol production.

Choice B Reason: Dry, scaly skin and cold intolerance are not physical assessment findings that the nurse would expect to observe in a client with Cushing's syndrome, but they may indicate hypothyroidism, which affects the metabolism and skin condition.

Choice C Reason: Dry, sticky mucous membranes and hypovolemia are not physical assessment findings that the nurse would expect to observe in a client with Cushing's syndrome, but they may indicate dehydration or diabetes insipidus, which affect the fluid balance and urine output.

Choice D Reason: Exophthalmos and tachycardia are not physical assessment findings that the nurse would expect to observe in a client with Cushing's syndrome, but they may indicate hyperthyroidism, which affects the eye protrusion and heart rate.

Choice A Reason: Urine output 800 mL/hr is a sign of diabetes insipidus, as it indicates that the kidneys are producing large amounts of diluted urine due to the lack of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) or its action.

Choice B Reason: Blood glucose 198 mg/dL is not a sign of diabetes insipidus, but it may indicate diabetes mellitus or hyperglycemia.

Choice C Reason: Serum sodium 145 mEq/L is not a sign of diabetes insipidus, but it is within the normal range (135-145 mEq/L).

Choice D Reason: Urine specific gravity 1.028 is not a sign of diabetes insipidus, but it indicates concentrated urine due to dehydration or other causes.
