First Aid for Corrections Officers Practice Test

Which types of diabetes are specifically mentioned?

1. Type I and Type III

2. Type I and Gestational

3. Type I, Type II, and Gestational

4. Type II and Pre-Diabetes

The correct answer is: Type I, Type II, and Gestational

In this context, the correct answer identifies that Type I, Type II, and Gestational diabetes are the main categories of diabetes discussed. Type I diabetes is characterized by the pancreas producing little to no insulin, usually diagnosed in children and young adults, leading to lifelong management with insulin therapy. Type II diabetes, on the other hand, involves insulin resistance and is often associated with lifestyle factors and obesity; it is the most common form of diabetes. Gestational diabetes occurs during pregnancy and typically resolves after giving birth, but it can indicate a higher risk of developing Type II diabetes later. These three types cover a comprehensive understanding of diabetes, highlighting its varying causes, occurrences, and management strategies, which is essential knowledge for corrections officers when dealing with individuals who may have diabetes management needs. The other types mentioned in the other choices (such as Type III or Pre-Diabetes) do not represent the foundational types typically emphasized in a first aid context.
