Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option B: A condition of excessive thirst
Concept:

Medical terminology for diabetic symptoms relates to three classic "poly" signs: polyuria, polydipsia, and polyphagia.

Solution:

  • Due to massive fluid loss from frequent urination (polyuria), patients with uncontrolled diabetes become severely dehydrated.


  • This dehydration triggers an unquenchable, relentless desire to drink water, a clinical symptom known as polydipsia (excessive thirst).


Why other options are incorrect:

Large urine volume is polyuria. Excessive hunger is polyphagia.
