Question 1 of 5

A school nurse is assessing an adolescent who reports feeling shaky and is having difficulty speaking and concentrating on the questions the nurse is asking. The nurse checks the adolescent's blood glucose level and identifies a value of 55 mg/dL. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Tachycardia. When blood glucose levels drop (hypoglycemia), the body releases epinephrine causing an increase in heart rate, leading to tachycardia. Shaky feeling, difficulty speaking, and poor concentration are signs of hypoglycemia. Deep, rapid respirations (choice
A) are seen in diabetic ketoacidosis, not hypoglycemia. Polyuria (choice
C) is excessive urination, not a symptom of hypoglycemia. Dry, flushed skin (choice
D) is not associated with hypoglycemia.
