Tachypnea PRESENT Tachypnea is a normal response to hypoxemia. Tachypnea is most usually the response to respiratory acidosis or hypoxemia of acute infection or the attempt to restore pH balance during metabolic acidosis most especially in diabetes. Additionally, tachypnea can result from primary cardiac abnormalities like hypertension (Park, 2005).
Dyspnea PRESENT The most common symptom
associated with pleural effusion is dyspnea which is caused by airflow obstruction which is secondary to airways inflammation, airways remodeling and sputum hypersecretion; reduced lung elastic recoil and the obstruction of small airways result in incomplete air expelling and dynamic hyperinflation or air trapping (O'Donnell & Webb, 2005). Chest Pain PRESENT When the heart muscles do not receive enough oxygenated blood, chest pain can occur. A blockage in the coronary arteries can lead to ischemia, which also leads to chest pain (American Heart Association, 2015).
Cyanosis PRESENT Accumulation of fluid in the
lungs impairs gas exchange and decreases the ability of the lungs to oxygenate blood. This results in the hemoglobin in red blood cells to leave the pulmonary circulation without getting fully oxygenated. This then results in cyanosis (Grossman & Porth, 2014).
Fatigue and PRESENT With a decrease in stroke
Body volume, the cardiac output Weakness decreases as well. With an inadequate cardiac output, the body is unable to respond to increased energy demands. This leads to fatigue and activity intolerance. In addition to fatigue, the increased effort in breathing leads to an increase in the expenditure of energy, leading to fatigue (Hinkle & Cheever, 2018). High blood glucose makes the blood “sludgy”; slowing circulation so cells can’t get the oxygen and nutrients they need. In addition, high blood glucose can cause diabetes fatigue through inflammation. Blood vessels get inflamed by the sugar. When this happens, according to research, immune cells called monocytes come into the brain, causing fatigue (Spero, 2018).
Peripheral PRESENT Edema refers to swollen ankles
Edema and feet. It occurs when certain tissue in the body gets filled by fluid. The cause behind this can be anything from eating salty food to maintaining a single sitting position for long. Other factors including hormonal changes and diabetes can also lead to swelling feet and ankles. In the case of diabetes, you get the condition, due to factors associated with it including obesity, cardiovascular problems, kidney disease, poor blood circulation (India Lifestyle, 2020). Anasarca ABSENT An elevation of the right-sided pressure leads to fluid accumulation in the systemic venous circulation. This causes venous congestion and can manifest as generalized edema or anasarca (Hammer & McPhee, 2014).
Polyuria PRESENT If blood glucose levels become
too high, the body will try to remedy the situation by removing glucose from the blood through the kidneys. When this happens, the kidneys will also filter out more water and you will need to urinate more than usual as a result (Diabetes UK, 2019).
Polydipsia PRESENT When the sugar level in the
bloodstream becomes excessively concentrated, the kidney is unable to pull out the glucose from water. In typical cases, most of the glucose and water is taken out of the urine and sent back into the body. As the body is no longer able to reuptake the glucose, the osmotic pressure builds up. The osmotic pressure is what builds between liquids with solutes of high concentration and low concentration. Over time, this pressure gets so high that the body is not able to absorb the water back to the bloodstream and is thrown out with urine (Tuli, 2019).
Polyphagia PRESENT High blood sugar levels
directly increase your craving for food, and in particular, sugar, because your body relies on that second-by- second delivery of glucose in order to function. When there isn’t enough insulin present to actually make use of and transport that glucose to your brain and other cells throughout the body, your brain cues its signal for hunger (Vieira, 2019).
Uremic Frost ABSENT Uremic frost is seen in end-
stage renal failure and is an indication for dialysis. It forms when sweat containing high levels of urea evaporates and the urea crystallizes on the skin. This finding was common prior to the widespread and long-term use of dialysis (Clinical Advisor, n.d.).
Blurred PRESENT Insulin is a hormone that
Vision allows the body to break down sugars that our cells use for energy. Increased blood sugar (or blood glucose) can cause the lenses of your eyes to swell with fluid, causing distorted vision or blurriness. If not managed, sugar progress retinopathy ( UCLA Health, 2017). The normally clear lens sits directly behind the pupil and helps you focus on objects. Since light has to pass through the lens before it can be focused on the retina, the result of this swelling is blurry vision (Debrowski, 2021).
Bubbly Urine PRESENT If the blood glucose levels are
Output too high, the kidneys will have trouble filtering the blood properly. This can allow glucose and protein molecules from the blood to end up in the urine, which can cause foaming (UPMC Health Beat, 2021).
Oliguria PRESENT It is often the earliest sign of
impaired renal function. It is defined as urine output less that 400 ml in 24 hours for adults. (Devarajan, 2017)
Dark Urine PRESENT When loss of kidney function
Output is mild or moderately severe, the kidneys cannot absorb water from the urine to reduce the volume of urine and concentrate it (Malkina, 2021).
Fruity Urine PRESENT One warning sign of diabetes
Odor or high blood sugar is urine that smells sweet or fruity. The sweetness comes from sugar in the urine and is a sign your body is trying to get rid of extra sugar in your blood (Begum, 2021). Dry and Itchy PRESENT If levels of glucose in the Skin blood stay high for a long time, it can lead to a serious condition called diabetic neuropathy, which means there is damage to the nerves. This might be because the high levels of sugar affects the capillaries that feed nerves with oxygen and blood, but whatever the exact mechanism, neuropathy can affect sweat glands and lead to dry, cracked skin, especially on the feet (Balmonds UK, 2020).
Poor Wound PRESENT Neuropathy is both a major
Healing cause of injury in individuals with diabetes, and also a reason for complications in diabetes wound healing. When high blood sugar destroys nerves, they do not regenerate; thus many patients with diabetes are increasingly less sensitive to pain in their limbs. With this loss of sensation, patients don't feel developing blisters, infections, or existing wound changes. That means that wound healing is complicated not only by the fact that patients don't feel wounds as they occur, but they also have no pain to alert them that a wound is getting worse or infected (Wound Source, 2017).
Flank Pain PRESENT Pain in the back can be a
kidney disease if there is infection or blockage of the kidneys (National Kidney Foundation, 2016).
Nasal PRESENT Nasal congestion is due to the
Congestion inflammation of the linings of the nasal cavity. Swollen nasal passages constrict air flow, making it harder to breathe through the nose. The inflammation also makes it harder to get mucus out of the patient’s nose, It causes patients to feel stuffed up (Vicks, 2022). Productive PRESENT Blood backs up into the Cough pulmonary veins back to the lungs. The buildup eventually leads to fluid leakage into the lungs. With the presence of fluid in the lungs, coughing is initiated to let the fluid out of the lungs. The cough produces a yellowish, thick, mucus (American Heart Association, 2017).
Crackles PRESENT During inhalation, the air
moves through the alveoli containing fluid. This movement produces crepitant sounds. When the fluid moves into the larger airways, the sound becomes louder and coarser (Hinkle & Cheever, 2018).
Wheezing PRESENT Wheezes are continuous
musical sounds made predominantly on expiration and are a sign of airway obstruction. Widespread bronchiolar narrowing, as most commonly occurs with the inflammation of virus- associated lower respiratory tract infection, produces heterophonies, high-pitched, sibilant wheezes of variable pitch and presence in different lung fields (Park, 2005) Chills and PRESENT Fever is the rise of body Fever temperature caused by an infection. A part in the brain called the hypothalamus responds to different factors, such as infectious organisms and injury, by releasing fever- producing chemicals that change body temperature. These chemicals cause blood vessels to narrow and pull heat into the innermost part of the bod resulting to increased temperature (Rush University Medical Center, n.d.).
