Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Satiation is the feeling of fullness or satisfaction after eating, which occurs when blood glucose levels rise to a certain point. As Giselle received glucose continuously through an intravenous line, her blood glucose levels would have gradually increased until she reached a state of satiation. Agitation, decreased autonomic arousal, and thirst are not necessarily associated with rising blood glucose levels.
