Question 1 of 5

A nurse performs a capillary blood glucose check for a client who has type 1 diabetes mellitus and obtains a reading of 64 mg/dL on the glucometer. Which of the following assessment findings should the nurse expect?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Nervousness. A blood glucose level of 64 mg/dL indicates hypoglycemia in a client with type 1 diabetes. Nervousness is a common symptom of hypoglycemia due to the body's stress response to low blood sugar. Tachypnea (choice
A) is more likely to be seen in diabetic ketoacidosis. Ketonuria (choice
B) is a sign of hyperglycemia and ketosis, not hypoglycemia. Warm skin (choice
C) is not specific to any particular blood glucose level.
Therefore, the nurse should expect the client to display nervousness as a result of the low blood glucose level.
