The caregivers of a child just diagnosed with diabetes express concern that they won’t remember the different signs and symptoms of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia. As a result, they are afraid they won’t handle an emergency correctly. What is the best initial response by the nurse to help ensure the child’s safety?

Repeat the signs and symptoms over and over until they seem to understand.

Instruct them to treat the reaction as if it’s hypoglycemia, since this condition is more likely.

Give the caregivers educational pamphlets and videos about diabetes.

Suggest that the child wear an insulin pump for continuous insulin administration.
