Question 1 of 5

A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a school-age child who has type 1 diabetes mellitus and his parent about illness management. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Withholding insulin when feeling nauseous is not recommended. Insulin is necessary for the body to use glucose for energy. Without insulin, glucose stays in the bloodstream, leading to high blood sugar levels. Testing the urine for ketones is important in managing type 1 diabetes. When the body does not have enough insulin, it breaks down fat as fuel. This process produces a buildup of acids in the bloodstream called ketones, eventually leading to diabetic ketoacidosis if untreated. Limiting fluid intake during mealtime is not specifically related to the management of type 1 diabetes. It's important to stay hydrated, but it doesn't directly affect blood glucose levels. Notifying the provider if blood glucose levels are over 350 mg/dL is not the only time medical advice should be sought. Any persistent, unusual, or extreme blood glucose reading should be discussed with a healthcare provider.
