B) is an elevated potassium level, usually not associated with radioactive iodine therapy. Hyponatremia (choice
C) is a low sodium level, which is also not a common side effect of this therapy. Hypercalcemia (choice
D) is an elevated calcium level, unrelated to radioactive iodine therapy for hyperthyroidism.

Rationale: In a client with diabetes mellitus (DM) taking insulin, the development of fever and confusion may indicate hyperglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis. Checking the blood glucose level is the priority action in this situation. This will help determine if the symptoms are related to high blood sugar levels, guiding further interventions. Administering a fever-reducing medication (choice
B) addresses only the symptom of fever and does not address the underlying cause. Providing fluids to drink (choice
C) is important but should come after addressing the potential hyperglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis. Notifying the health care provider (choice
D) can be important, but immediate action to evaluate and manage the client's condition should precede contacting the provider.
