    A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has diabetes mellitus about the manifestations of hypoglycemia. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. "I will feel shaky.": Trembling and shakiness are classic autonomic symptoms of hypoglycemia and indicate correct recognition. B. "I will be more thirsty than usual.": Excessive thirst is a hallmark of hyperglycemia, not hypoglycemia. C. "My skin will be warm and moist.": Hypoglycemia typically causes cool, clammy skin rather than warm and moist skin. D. "My appetite will be decreased.": Hypoglycemia usually triggers hunger (an increased appetite), not a decreased one.
