Extract:
A nurse is caring for a school-age child who has diabetes mellitus.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following findings should the nurse recognize as being consistent with hyperglycemia?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Thirst. Hyperglycemia is characterized by high blood sugar levels, causing increased thirst as the body tries to dilute the excess glucose by increasing fluid intake. Sweating (
A), tremors (
B), and pallor (
C) are not typically associated with hyperglycemia. Sweating and tremors are more commonly seen in hypoglycemia, while pallor may indicate other underlying conditions. Thirst, on the other hand, is a classic symptom of hyperglycemia due to the body's response to elevated blood sugar levels.
