The nurse is taking care of a client at 27-weeks gestation who had an abnormal one-hour glucose screening of 157mg/dl. The nurse knows the client will now need a three-hour oral glucose tolerance test. What are 2 teaching points the nurse will give the client prior to the three-hour oral glucose tolerance test?

Sheila's doctor is concerned that she may suffer from gestational diabetes (high blood glucose levels during pregnancy). There is variation both in the actual glucose level and in the blood test that measures the level. A patient is classified as having gestational diabetes if the glucose level is above 140 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) one hour after having a sugary drink. Sheila's measured glucose level one hour after the sugary drink varies according to the Normal distribution with mu = 125 mg/dl and sigma = 20 mg/dl. (a) If a single glucose measurement is made, what is the probability that Sheila is diagnosed as having gestational diabetes? (b) If measurements are made on 5 separate days and the mean result is compared with the criterion 140 mg/dl, what is the probability that Sheila is diagnosed as having gestational diabetes?
