which of the following would be included in the assessment of a patient with diabetes mellitus who is experiencing a hypoglycemic reaction? (select all that apply.)
flushed skin
extreme thirst
constricted pupils
tremors
nervousness
profuse perspiration

Explanation:

To determine the correct options for a hypoglycemic reaction in diabetes:

• Flushed skin: Not typical for hypoglycemia (more common in hyperglycemia or other conditions).
• Extreme thirst: A sign of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar), not hypoglycemia.
• Constricted pupils: Not a typical sign of hypoglycemia.
• Tremors: Occur due to the body's response to low blood sugar (release of counter - regulatory hormones like epinephrine, which can cause tremors).
• Nervousness: Epinephrine release also causes feelings of nervousness in hypoglycemia.
• Profuse perspiration: Another effect of epinephrine release during hypoglycemia, leading to sweating.

So the correct options are Tremors, Nervousness, and Profuse perspiration.

Answer:

Tremors, Nervousness, Profuse perspiration
