Simulated
The client diagnosed with HHNS was admitted yesterday with a blood glucose level of 780 mg/dL. The client's blood glucose level is now 300 mg/dL. Which intervention should the nurse implement?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
A glucose drop from 780 to 300 mg/dL requires HCP notification to adjust insulin, preventing hypoglycemia. Increasing insulin, checking ketones, or meals are inappropriate.
