Description
With the high prevalence of 38 million Americans in the US with diabetes and almost ¼ of the US population with prediabetes, healthcare professionals need to know how to respond to diabetic emergencies. Emergency nurses need to be aware of the pathophysiology and treatment standards, as the acceleration of available diabetic medications can be confusing. There has also been confusion for the term HNS, also known as “HANKS” or HHNKS, or HNC,” which will be clarified.
