Grade A Study Guide.
1. A client is being evaluated for pre-diabetes. Which fasting blood glucose
(FBG) result would the nurse identify as diagnostic for this condition?
A. 90-99 mg/dL
B. 100-125 mg/dL
C. 126 mg/dL or higher
D. 140 mg/dL or higher
CORRECT ANSWER: B
Rationale: A fasting blood glucose level of 100-125 mg/dL is diagnostic for
,2|Page
pre-diabetes (impaired fasting glucose) per the American Diabetes
Association (ADA) criteria.
2. The nurse is reviewing lab results for a client screened for pre-diabetes.
Which hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) result confirms this diagnosis?
A. 5.6% or less
B. 5.7% to 6.4%
C. 6.5% or higher
D. 7.0% or higher
CORRECT ANSWER: B
Rationale: An HbA1c level of 5.7% to 6.4% indicates pre-diabetes (increased
risk for diabetes). An A1c of 6.5% or higher is diagnostic for diabetes.
3. A client's 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) result is 150 mg/dL
after a 75-gram glucose load. How should the nurse interpret this finding?
A. Normal glucose tolerance
B. Diagnostic for pre-diabetes
C. Diagnostic for diabetes
,3|Page
D. Indicative of hypoglycemia
CORRECT ANSWER: B
Rationale: A 2-hour OGTT value of 140-199 mg/dL is diagnostic for pre-
diabetes (impaired glucose tolerance). A value of 200 mg/dL or higher
indicates diabetes.
4. A client presents with classic symptoms of hyperglycemia (polyuria,
polydipsia, polyphagia). A random plasma glucose is obtained. Which result
would be diagnostic for diabetes mellitus?
A. ≥ 140 mg/dL
B. ≥ 160 mg/dL
C. ≥ 180 mg/dL
D. ≥ 200 mg/dL
CORRECT ANSWER: D
Rationale: According to ADA criteria, a random plasma glucose of 200 mg/dL
or higher in the presence of classic hyperglycemic symptoms is diagnostic for
diabetes mellitus.

5. A client has no symptoms of diabetes. Which fasting plasma glucose result
confirms a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus?
A. ≥ 100 mg/dL
B. ≥ 110 mg/dL
C. ≥ 126 mg/dL
D. ≥ 140 mg/dL
CORRECT ANSWER: C
Rationale: A fasting plasma glucose level of 126 mg/dL or higher on two
separate occasions is diagnostic for diabetes mellitus in an asymptomatic
client.
6. The nurse is reviewing a client's lab work. Which hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)
result is diagnostic for diabetes mellitus?
A. ≥ 5.7%
B. ≥ 6.0%
C. ≥ 6.5%
D. ≥ 7.0%
