    The client asks the nurse which type of diabetes is caused by no insulin secretion by the pancreas. What is the best response by the nurse?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. "Type 2 diabetes": Type 2 diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency but not by a complete lack of insulin production. B. Neither-they both result from the inability of the body to use insulin: This is incorrect as Type 1 diabetes results from the pancreas not producing insulin, while Type 2 diabetes involves insulin resistance. C. "Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes": This is incorrect as only Type 1 diabetes is caused by no insulin secretion. Type 2 diabetes involves different pathophysiological mechanisms. D. "Type 1 diabetes": Type 1 diabetes is characterized by the pancreas's inability to produce insulin due to autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing beta cells. This type of diabetes requires insulin therapy for management.
