male is sweaty and pale. Which of the following tests is most likely to be
performed first?
A. Blood sugar check
B.CT scan
C. Blood cultures
D. Arterial blood gases
Correct Answer: A. Blood sugar check
With a history of diabetes, the first response should be to check blood sugar
levels.

computerized tomography (CT) scan combines a series of X-ray images

different angles around the body and uses computer processing to
create cross- sectional images (slices) of the bones, blood vessels and
soft tissues inside the body. CT scan images provide more-detailed
information than plain X-rays do.
Option C: A blood culture test helps the doctor figure out if the client has
a kind of infection that is in the bloodstream and can affect the entire
body. Doctors call this a systemic infection. The test checks a sample of
the blood for bacteria or yeast that might be causing the infection.
Option D: An arterial blood gas (ABG) test measures oxygen and carbon
dioxide levels in the blood. It also measures the body’s acid-base (pH)
level, which is usually in balance when healthy.
