Question 15 • 2026-2027 EDGE Human Anatomy and Physiology A

Shanna was diagnosed with a homeostatic disorder that was left untreated for a number of years. As a result, she has neuropathy that is affecting her right leg. Which disorder does Shanna most likely have?

Answer
A
type 2 diabetes
B
narcolepsy
C
metabolic alkalosis
D
insomnia

Explanation

Long-term untreated type 2 diabetes can damage nerves, causing diabetic neuropathy, often in the legs and feet. Since Shanna has neuropathy affecting her right leg, type 2 diabetes is the most likely disorder. Narcolepsy and insomnia are sleep disorders, while metabolic alkalosis is an acid-base imbalance not typically associated with this pattern of nerve damage.
