DPN Explanation: I think it does refer to diabetic peripheral neuropathy, as this has implications for current and future medical and nursing care, such as using devices to alleviate pressure on the skin when the patient is in bed, or prescribing treatment for ulcers. This would fit with the other two items in that sentence - "no DPN" is effectively saying that the patient has been examined for this and there is no need to take any medical or nursing steps at present. See this link, for example, for DM nursing care plans. https://nurseslabs.com/diabetes-mellitus-nursing-care-plans/... |

| Reference: Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy Reference information: I agree with this solution. It is often specified with the English acronym in the Italian medical texts. For example (Società Italiana di diabetologia): "La neuropatia diabetica periferica (DPN) è una delle complicanze del diabete più insidiose, ed al fine di prevenire le numerose sequele cliniche alle quali può portare, è fondamentale effettuare una diagnosi il più precocemente possibile. " https://www.siditalia.it/ricerca/journal-club/neuropatia/105... Anche (Portale diabete): https://www.portalediabete.org/neuropatia-diabetica-periferi... |
