What symptoms would indicate to the nurse that the client receiving TPN is experiencing hyperglycemia?

C. Medication adherence is vital for controlling inflammation and preventing flare-ups in ulcerative colitis. Therefore, ensuring that the client is taking their medications as prescribed is a primary focus of disease management, regardless of how well they have learned to manage the condition.
A. Stress can exacerbate symptoms of ulcerative colitis and may contribute to flare-ups. Therefore, understanding how the client manages stress is important. However, given that the client has lived with ulcerative colitis for close to 15 years and has learned to manage it well, this question may be less of a primary focus compared to other aspects of disease management.
B. Regular monitoring through colonoscopy is essential for detecting any changes or complications associated with ulcerative colitis, such as inflammation, dysplasia, or colon cancer.
D. While rest and adequate sleep are important for overall health and well-being, they may not be as directly related to ulcerative colitis management as medication adherence, monitoring, and stress management.

Abdominal pain may occur due to gastrointestinal symptoms related to hyperglycemia, such as bloating or discomfort.

B. Hunger, shakiness, confusion are symptoms of hypoglycemia rather than hyperglycemia.
D. While tachycardia and anxiety can occur with various medical conditions, oliguria is not typically associated with hyperglycemia.
