Aclient with type 2 diabetes, who is taking an oral hypoglycemic agent, is to have a serum glucose test early in the morning. the client asks the nurse, "what do i have to do to prepare for this test? " which statement by the nurse reflects accurate information?

"Do not ingest anything before the test."

Explanation:

Glucose testing is a procedure that evaluates your blood sugar level. From the results of this test the doctor can tell, for example, if the risk of diabetes is imminent and recommend treatments to control the situation. When a patient needs to be tested, it is important that they do not eat anything before the test is taken. This is because the amount of glucose in the food that the patient can eat will interfere with the glucose level present in the patient's blood and will result in an inefficient glucose test result.
