    A nurse is caring for a 7-year-old in the emergency department (ED). Exhibits Which of the following findings should the nurse include in today's teaching? Select All That Apply.

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Fruity breath odor: Expected during hyperglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis; useful to teach for early recognition of complications. B. Excessive thirst: Expected in diabetes; teaching should reinforce fluid needs and early symptom identification. C. Negative ketones: Not expected to teach, as it is a lab result, not a symptom. D. Abdominal pain: Expected in hyperglycemia or ketoacidosis. E. Sweating: Expected in hypoglycemia, important for future recognition. F. Nightmares: Unrelated to diabetes. G. Double vision: More typical of severe hyperglycemia or other neurological issues. H. Headache: Expected symptom of hypoglycemia.
