Hello,
This is a practice question, and i wanted to see what you think the answers is and why:
The adult client with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes is being seen by the home health nurse. The health care provider placed the client on an 1,800-calorie ADA diet, ordered the client to self-administer 15 units of isophane each day before breakfast, and check the blood glucose qid. When the nurse visits the client at 17:00, the nurse discovers that the client has not eaten since noon and has just returned from jogging. The client's vital signs are: BP 110/80, pulse 120/min, respirations 18/min, and temperature 98.2°F (36.8°C). The nurse anticipates the client's blood glucose to be which value?
250 mg/dL
160 mg/dL
50 mg/dL
90 mg/dL

That is pretty long for an NCLEX question. Anyway, what do you think a type 1 diabetic's BS would be after skipping lunch and then working out?
this is a very simple knowledge question.
