The nurse is assessing a 22-yr-old client experiencing the onset of symptoms of type 1 diabetes. Which finding would the nurse anticipate?

Start Passage Explication – Passages that are from works from tests 1 and 2 will be marked as “cumulative.” Passage 1: Going close up to the young sailor, laying a soothing hand on his shoulder, he said, “There is no hurry, my boy.  Take your time, take your time.”  Contrary to the effect intended, these words so fatherly in tone, doubtless touching Billy’s heart to the quick, prompted yet more violent efforts at utterance – efforts soon ending for the time in confirming the paralysis, and bring to his face an expression which was a crucifixion to behold.  The next instant, quick as the flame from a discharged cannon at night, his right arm upon the forehead, so shapely and intellectual-looking a feature in the master-at-arms; so that the body fell over lengthwise, like a heavy plank tilted from erectness.  A gasp or two, and he lay motionless.

Passage 4:    Without volition, as it were, as if indeed the ship’s populace were but the vehicles of some vocal current electric, with one voice from allow and aloft came a resonant sympathetic echo: ‘God bless Captain Vere!’ And yet at that instant Billy alone must have been in their hearts, even as in their eyes.      At the pronounced words and the spontaneous echo that voluminously rebounded them, Captain Vere, either though stoic self-control or a sort of momentary paralysis induced by emotional shock, stood erectly rigid as a musket in the ship-armorer’s rack.
