D440 HESI Nutrition OA Exam
Case Study: Adolescent with Type 1 Diabetes
An adolescent male, approximately 14 years old, became unresponsive at
soccer practice. Coaches called an ambulance. The client has type 1
diabetes. Friends said he was complaining of not feeling well earlier that
day. He didn't seem to eat much at lunch but had cheese and nuts before
practice. The client is known to self-administer insulin. There is no history of
smoking or alcohol.
Vital Signs & Assessment:
• Height: 65 inches (165 cm)
• Weight: 110 lbs (50 kg)
• BMI: 18.3 kg/m²
• Temperature: 37°C (98.6°F)
, • Blood Pressure: 130/83 mmHg
• Pulse: 97 bpm
• O₂ Saturation: 98%
• Respirations: 18/min
• Blood Glucose: 50 mg/dL (2.8 mmol/L)
1. The nurse recognizes that this client's blood glucose level indicates which
condition?
A. Hyperglycemia
B. Hypoglycemia
C. Normal glucose tolerance
D. Diabetic ketoacidosis
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
A blood glucose level below 70 mg/dL is indicative of hypoglycemia. The
client consumed noncarbohydrate foods (cheese and nuts) before practice,
which would not support normal blood glucose during physical activity. The
elevated blood pressure (130/83 mmHg) is a compensatory response to low
blood glucose, not hypotension. There is no evidence of hyperglycemia or
diabetic ketoacidosis in this scenario.
2. Which intervention is the priority for the nurse to implement for this
client?
