Inference
Hypoglycemia is a
condition when
there is inadequate
blood glucose
supply for the
bodys energy
consumption needs.
A blood glucose
level of below than
60mg/dl can define
this condition and it
is primarily due to
an underlying
disease, called
diabetes mellitus.
Rationale
Evaluation
After 8 hours of
nursing care, the goal is
met as evidenced by
clients blood glucose
level of 6.2mmol/L and
absence of weakness,
confusion or any signs
of progression to
profound
hypoglycemia.
- Monitoring the
blood glucose level
signifies the need for
more or just enough
intake of
carbohydrate/
sugar; to prevent
overeating.
- After ingestion of
simple sugars, the
client may pursue a
small snack or if it is
meal time, he may
consume his meal
right away.
Subjective:
I just feel dizzy...)
verbatim of client.
Objective:
Sweating
Trembling hands
Recent blood
glucose level:
2.9mmol/L
PP: 102bpm
RR: 21bpm
BP: 110/70mmHg
In connection,
glucose is an
essential component
for the brains
activity. If the brain
is deprived with
glucose for a long
time, the brain cells
can be destroyed
leading to
permanent brain
damage (coma),
memory loss and
decreased learning
ability.
After 8 hours of
nursing care,
client will be able
to resume
normal blood
glucose level and
be free from risk
for altered
cerebral tissue
perfusion.
-Encourage client to
verbalize the signs
and symptoms he
felt during the onset
and tell him to
familiarize himself of
these symptoms.
- Educate client to
monitor blood
glucose regularly
and should take with
him any sugar
containing food
every time he would
go out for work or
any activity.
-Emphasize to take
or wear any
identification card
notifying that he has
a medical condition
and it should have
significant numbers
