Passage / Scenario
A child with hypoglycaemia.Which sign is the nurse most likely to assess in a child with hypoglycaemia?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The correct answer is C: irritability and serum glucose less than 60 mg/dL. In hypoglycemia, the body's glucose levels drop below normal causing symptoms like irritability. A serum glucose level less than 60 mg/dL indicates low blood sugar. Choices A, B, and D all describe scenarios with high serum glucose levels, which are not indicative of hypoglycemia. Therefore, they are incorrect.
