護理師照護第一型糖尿病病人。應監測哪些低血糖症狀？
A nurse is caring for a client with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. Which symptoms should the nurse monitor for hypoglycemia?
- APolyuria and polydipsia多尿與多渴
- BTachycardia and tremors✓ 正解心跳過速與震顫
- CFlushed, dry skin皮膚潮紅、乾燥
- DKussmaul respirations庫斯莫爾氏呼吸
低血糖（Hypoglycemia）是指血糖濃度低於 70 mg/dL。當血糖下降時，身體會啟動交感神經系統（Sympathetic nervous system）釋放腎上腺素（Epinephrine）以試圖提升血糖，這會引發典型的腎上腺素能反應。護理師必須熟悉這些早期警訊，以便在病人意識改變前及時介入（如給予快速吸收的碳水化合物），避免進展至神經性低血糖（Neuroglycopenia）導致昏迷或癲癇。
Hypoglycemia is defined as a blood glucose level below 70 mg/dL. When blood glucose falls, the body activates the sympathetic nervous system, releasing epinephrine in an attempt to raise the glucose level, which produces the typical adrenergic response. The nurse must be familiar with these early warning signs in order to intervene promptly (for example, by giving rapidly absorbable carbohydrates) before the client's level of consciousness changes, and to prevent progression to neuroglycopenia with coma or seizures.
