An adolescent with type 1 diabetes mellitus
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching an adolescent who has type 1 diabetes mellitus. Which of the following findings is the nurse's priority?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: HbA1c of 11.5%. This is the priority finding because it indicates the long-term control of blood glucose levels, which is crucial in managing diabetes. A high HbA1c level suggests poor diabetes management and increased risk of complications.
Choices A, B, and D are important but do not reflect the overall control of diabetes over time like HbA1c does. Cholesterol level (choice
A) and glycosuria (choice
B) are important for monitoring overall health, while pre-prandial blood glucose (choice
D) is essential for short-term management.
