Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A blood glucose level of 350 mg/dL is considered hyperglycemia and should be treated promptly to prevent complications. The best option in this scenario is to infuse insulin with TPN to bring down the elevated blood glucose level. Tapering off lipids or stopping TPN infusion entirely may also be necessary if other factors contribute to the hyperglycemia, but insulin administration should be the first step.
