Nurse Kate is providing dietary instructions to a male client with hypoglycemia.
To control hypoglycemic episodes, the nurse should recommend:
a- Increasing saturated fat intake and fasting in the afternoon.
b- Increasing intake of vitamins B and D and taking iron supplements.
c- Eating a candy bar if light-headedness occurs.
d- Consuming a low-carbohydrate, high-protein diet and avoiding fasting.
Answer D.
To control hypoglycemic episodes, the nurse should instruct the client to consume a low-carbohydrate, high-protein diet, avoid fasting, and avoid simple sugars.
