A nurse is in a provider's office is collecting data from an older adult client who has type 2 diabetes mellitus. Which of the following findings is a manifestation of hyperglycemia?

A. Hypertension:
Hypovolemia is characterized by a decrease in blood volume. This reduction in blood volume usually leads to decreased blood pressure, not hypertension.

B. Peripheral edema:
Edema is more commonly associated with hypervolemia (excess fluid volume) rather than hypovolemia. In hypovolemia, the body is experiencing a deficit of fluids, and edema is not a typical manifestation.

C. Oliguria:
This is the correct answer. Oliguria, or reduced urine output, is a common finding in hypovolemia. When the body is low on fluids, the kidneys try to conserve water by decreasing urine production.

D. Bradycardia:
Hypovolemia often leads to tachycardia (an increased heart rate) as the body attempts to compensate for the decreased blood volume by pumping the existing blood more quickly. Bradycardia is not a typical finding in hypovolemia.

A. High-fiber cereals:
High-fiber cereals may not be suitable for a soft diet, as they can be challenging to chew and may not meet the texture requirements of a soft diet.

B. Raw vegetables:
Raw vegetables are generally not recommended for a soft diet, as they can be difficult to chew and digest. Cooking or steaming vegetables can make them softer and more suitable for a soft diet.

C. Ground beef:
This is the correct answer. Ground beef can be included in a soft diet, especially if it is cooked to a tender consistency. It provides a good source of protein while meeting the requirements of a soft-textured diet.

D. Fruit with the skin:
Fruits with skins may pose a challenge for individuals on a soft diet, as the skin can be difficult to chew and swallow. Choosing peeled or canned fruits without skins may be more appropriate.
