    A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has type 2 diabetes mellitus. The nurse determines that teaching has been effective when the client identifies which of the following manifestations of hypoglycemia? (Select all that apply.)

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Polydipsia: Increased thirst is a symptom of hyperglycemia, not hypoglycemia. B. Polyuria: Frequent urination is associated with hyperglycemia and osmotic diuresis, not hypoglycemia. C. Blurry vision: Visual disturbance from osmotic shifts is more typical of hyperglycemia. D. Tachycardia: Rapid heart rate is an autonomic (adrenergic) response commonly seen with hypoglycemia. E. Sweating: Diaphoresis is an autonomic sign frequently associated with hypoglycemia.
