6. Ms. Smith works
in your lab testing meters. After lunch she came to you
complaining her blood sugar was 300 and that the blood glucose
meter was inaccurate. She does not have diabetes. What could
cause such an inaccurate reading?
7. You told Ms
Smith there was something more she could do to attain an
accurate blood glucose reading. She could…
