Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Glycosylated hemoglobin is a measure of glucose control during the 6 to 8 weeks before the test. It is a reliable measure for determining the degree of glucose control in diabetic clients over a period of time, and it is not influenced by dietary management 1 to 2 days before the test is done. The glycosylated hemoglobin level should be 6.0% or less for a client diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, with elevated levels indicating poor glucose control.
