A client with gestational diabetes is receiving an IV insulin infusion during labor. Which blood glucose range should the nurse expect the insulin to be titrated to?

  1. 70 to 110 mg/dL
  2. 110 to 150 mg/dL
  3. 40 to 70 mg/dL
  4. 150 to 200 mg/dL
Show answer

Correct answer: 70 to 110 mg/dL

Labor uses energy and limits calorie intake, so glucose is checked often and kept in a narrow range.
