Answer:
The question is incomplete, below is the completed question:
A client is managing diabetes with exercise and diet. The health care provider reviews the client's most recent laboratory results: fasting blood glucose level at 80 mg/dL (4.44 mmol/L) and a hemoglobin A1C of 5% (0.05). Select the response that best identifies the client.
The client needs to modify the diet related to the low readings.
The client is at risk for developing hyperglycemia.
The client is achieving normal glycemic control.
The client is at risk for an insulin reaction.
Answer
The correct answer is:
The client is achieving normal glycemic control.
Step-by-step explanation:
The two laboratory tests used to diagnose and monitor diabetes mellitus are fasting blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin ( Hemoglobin A1C)
The fasting blood sugar is the blood glucose level, tested after 8 - 12 hours of fasting, and the normal range is 63 - 108mgldL (3.5 - 6.0 mmol/L). The patients fasting blood glucose value is 80mg/dL (4.44mmol/L) hence it is within the normal range
Hemoglobin A1C is used to monitor glycemic control over a period of 6 - 8 weeks. The normal range is 4% - 5.6%. The patient's result is 5%, hence it is within the normal range.
overall, the patient has good glycemic control and should continue the exercise and diet regimen.
