Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving parenteral nutrition and identifies that the client has hypoglycemia. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Administer IV dextrose. Hypoglycemia in a client receiving parenteral nutrition indicates a low blood sugar level, which can lead to serious complications. Administering IV dextrose will help raise the client's blood sugar levels quickly and effectively. Discontinuing the infusion (Option
A) would further decrease the client's glucose intake. Obtaining arterial blood gases (Option
B) is not necessary for treating hypoglycemia. Warming the formula to room temperature (Option
C) is not relevant to addressing hypoglycemia. Administering IV dextrose is the most appropriate and immediate intervention to correct hypoglycemia in this scenario.
