At the conclusion of the visit, you need to evaluate your teaching. Which statement made by
Y.L. indicates that clarification is necessary?
a. "I will stay on the diabetic diet described by the dietitian."
b. "I will monitor my glucose levels at least four times each day."
c. "I need to stop exercising because I will need more carbohydrates."
d. "I should immediately report any ketones in my urine."
c
Exercise is safe for a client with GDM and is helpful in lowering the blood glucose level. Because
medical nutritional therapy is the mainstay of treatment, Y.L. must follow the prescribed diabetic diet
that was tailored to her. Blood glucose levels should be monitored frequently. Measurements are
usually taken on rising and before and after meals as instructed. Ketonuria needs to be reported to
the health care provider.
