Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client who has a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The nurse should identify which of the following findings as an indication of a microvascular complication?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Retinopathy. In type 2 diabetes, prolonged high blood sugar levels can damage small blood vessels in the retina, leading to retinopathy, a microvascular complication affecting the eyes. This can result in vision problems or even blindness. Peripheral neuropathy (
A) is a macrovascular complication affecting the nerves, not the microvasculature. Hypertension (
B) is a common comorbidity but not a direct microvascular complication. Stroke (
D) is a macrovascular complication involving large blood vessels in the brain, not microvasculature. Thus, the nurse should identify retinopathy (
C) as the correct indication of a microvascular complication in a client with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
