Question 1 of 5
An 18-year-old female client, 5'4 tall, weighing 113 kg, comes to the clinic for a nonhealing wound on her lower leg, which she has had for two (2) weeks. Which disease process should the nurse suspect the client has developed?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Obesity (BMI ~44) and a nonhealing wound suggest type 2 diabetes, associated with insulin resistance. Type 1 is less likely, gestational diabetes requires pregnancy, and acanthosis nigricans is a symptom, not a disease.
