A nurse is cаring fоr the client presented wtihin this scenаriо: Ms. Pаrker is a 32-year-оld female, who has been a personal trainer for 10 years and a yoga instructor for 5 years. She was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus at the age of 23. At that time, she was hospitalized for blurred vision, abdominal cramps, nausea, and vomiting and was diagnosed with new onset type 1 diabetes. While hospitalized, Ms. Parker was instructed on self-administration of insulin and medical nutrition therapy. At an outpatient diabetes clinic, she received additional teaching about exercise, self-monitoring of blood glucose, and measures to prevent complications. The importance of maintaining tight glycemic control was stressed in her training.Currently, Ms. Parker is awake and oriented but is complaining of fatigue. She stated that she self-administered her usual dose of 10 units of insulin lispro (Humalog) at 0800, but because she was running late, her breakfast consisted of only one-half of an orange and 6 ounces of plain yogurt. Her vital signs on admission to the ED are: temperature 98.8°F, pulse 108 beats per minute, respirations 12, and blood pressure 90/50 mm Hg. Oxygen saturation on room air is 95%. Ms. Parker admits to doubling her dose of Lantus to 30 units (usual dose 15 units) after dinner the previous evening, because she had gone out for a birthday celebration and ingested a large amount of pasta, bread, and birthday cake. She believed that the extra dose of insulin would prevent her blood glucose level from rising too high and causing symptoms of hyperglycemia. What nursing action is priority at this time?
