A nurse is collecting data from a client who has diabetes mellitus. The client is confused, flushed, and has an acetone odor on his breath. The nurse should anticipate a prescription for which of the following types of insulin to treat the client?

Choice A Reason: Ketoacidosis is not likely to be the complication that the nurse should suspect, as it is caused by high blood glucose levels and results in symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fruity breath, and deep breathing.

Choice B Reason: Hyperglycemia is not likely to be the complication that the nurse should suspect, as it is caused by high blood glucose levels and results in symptoms such as thirst, polyuria, blurred vision, dry skin, and fatigue.

Choice C Reason: Nephropathy is not likely to be the complication that the nurse should suspect, as it is a chronic kidney disease that develops over time due to diabetes and results in symptoms such as proteinuria, edema, hypertension, and anemia.

Choice D Reason: Hypoglycemia is likely to be the complication that the nurse should suspect, as it is caused by low blood glucose levels and results in symptoms such as sweating, tachycardia, lightheadedness, shakiness, hunger, and confusion.

Choice A Reason: Encouraging deep-breathing exercises is not the most appropriate nursing intervention, as it may not reduce fatigue and may increase respiratory effort.

Choice B Reason: Providing a relaxing warm bath is not the most appropriate nursing intervention, as it may worsen fatigue and increase the risk of heat intolerance and dehydration.

Choice C Reason: Scheduling periods of rest in between activities is the most appropriate nursing intervention, as it helps to conserve energy, prevent exhaustion, and promote recovery.

Choice D Reason: Administering multivitamins is not the most appropriate nursing intervention, as it may not improve fatigue and may cause adverse effects or interactions with other medications.
