Question

A client reports a fasting plasma glucose test result of 120 mg/dL. What's the interpretation?

a) Within the normal range
b) Prediabetic level
c) Diabetic level
d) Indicates hypoglycemia

Answer 1

A fasting plasma glucose test result of 120 mg/dL indicates a prediabetic level. Hence the correct answer is option B

Step-by-step explanation:

A fasting plasma glucose test result of 120 mg/dL indicates a prediabetic level. Diabetes is diagnosed in people who have abnormally high levels of blood glucose after fasting for at least 12 hours. A fasting blood glucose level between 100 and 125 mg/dL is considered prediabetic, while a level higher than 125 mg/dL is considered diabetic.

Hence the correct answer is option B
