A nurse is caring for a 7-year-old client who has an upper respiratory infection and a history of type 1 diabetes mellitus. Which of the following statements by the mother indicates a need for further instruction?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: I will report changes in breathing or signs of confusion.' Correct action as changes in breathing or confusion can indicate diabetic ketoacidosis or other serious complications. 'I will encourage him to drink a half a cup of water or sugar-free fluid every 30 minutes.' Ensuring adequate fluid intake helps prevent dehydration and helps manage blood sugar levels during illness. 'I will notify the doctor if his temperature is not controlled with acetaminophen.' Correct action as fever may indicate an infection that needs further medical evaluation and treatment. 'I will continue to check his blood sugar two times every day.' When a child with diabetes is ill, blood sugar should be monitored more frequently, typically every 3-4 hours, to manage the risk of hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia due to illness.
