Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client who has diabetes mellitus prior to performing a blood glucose test. Which of the following findings should indicate to the nurse that the client has hyperglycemia?

Correct Answer: A

C) is also a sign of hypoglycemia due to low glucose levels. Cool skin (
