Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale: These symptoms are more indicative of diabetic ketoacidosis, not hypoglycemia.

Choice B rationale: Symptoms of increased urination, thirst, and hunger are more associated with hyperglycemia, not hypoglycemia.

Choice C rationale: These are classic signs of hypoglycemia and should be described to the client for early recognition and intervention.

Choice D rationale: These symptoms can occur in hypoglycemia but are less specific compared to sweating, cold, trembling, and tachycardia.

A. Client with a worse joint deformity since the last visit B. Client with a red, hot, swollen right wrist C. Client who has a puffy-looking area behind the knee D. Client who reports jaw pain when eating

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale: While joint deformities are concerning in RA, the immediate attention would be required for an acute, red, hot, swollen joint which could indicate an active inflammatory process.
Choice B rationale: Redness, heat, and swelling in a joint are signs of an acute flare in rheumatoid arthritis and might require urgent intervention to manage the inflammation.
Choice C rationale: Puffy-looking areas behind the knee might indicate joint involvement but might not require immediate attention as much as an acutely inflamed joint.
Choice D rationale: Jaw pain while eating can be a symptom of TMJ involvement in RA, but an acutely inflamed joint would generally take precedence.
