What are the Nursing Interventions for Abnormal Blood Glucose Levels?
For hypoglycemia, nurses can administer fast-acting carbohydrates like glucose tablets or juice. For severe hypoglycemia, intravenous glucose or glucagon may be necessary. For hyperglycemia, interventions include administering insulin, encouraging fluid intake, and monitoring for ketones. Nurses also collaborate with the healthcare team to adjust treatment plans as needed.
