Question 1 of 5

The nurse has provided education to a patient with diabetes who is starting on insulin injections. The nurse asks the patient, “What should you do if your fasting blood glucose is 57 mg/dL?” Which response by the patient would indicate an understanding of the education provided?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: "I will take an oral form of glucose." When a patient's fasting blood glucose is low (57 mg/dL), they need to raise their blood sugar quickly to prevent hypoglycemia. Taking an oral form of glucose, such as glucose tablets or a sugary drink, can rapidly increase blood sugar levels. Calling the doctor (choice
A) may cause a delay in treatment. Resting (choice
B) does not address the low blood sugar. Giving regular insulin (choice
D) would further lower blood sugar levels.
