Question 1
pts
The nurse practitioner student is reviewing the lab results from an annual
exam. The
CMP fasting glucose was 128 mg/dL. The patient does complain of
polyphagia. What is the nurse practitioner student's next action?
repeat fasting glucose in 3 months
Repeat fasting glucose in 1 week.
Prescribe Metformin 500 mg once a day.
Order a HGA1C today.
Rationale: A fasting plasma glucose > 126 mg/dL requires further testing. In
the absence of unequivocal hyperglycemia, result should be confirmed by
repeat testing. A HgbA1C is the correct answer because the repeat testing
should be completed without delay. Retesting in a week or a year is a
delay. Metformin should not be initiated until the diagnosis is confirmed.
