Hypoglycemia
1 Assess for additional clinical manifestations of hypoglycemia such as cool, clammy (moist) skin
and perform blood glucose testing..
2 Intravenous administration of dextrose 50% or a glucagon injection.
3 Retesting the blood glucose in 10 to 15 minutes and notifying the healthcare provider so that the
patient’s medication regimen can be adjusted appropriately
Hyperglycemia
3.1 Note for signs of tachypnea and extreme hyperglycemia (blood glucose level greater than 600
mg/dL). Notify healthcare provider immediately.
3.2 Prepare to administer:
2.1 Insulin (Intravenously)
2.2 Electrolytes (Intravenously)
2.3 Potassium (Intravenously)
Population and Sampling
The target population for this study are the Level I, II, III and IV student nurses in the
aforementioned state university in Iloilo City. There are 532 officially enrolled students in the
College of Nursing (Level I=113, Level 2=120, and Level 3=161, and Level 4=138) and the
researchers used the Slovin’s Formula to compute the sample size. A total of 205 (Level I=59,
Level II = 79, Level III = 67) students served as the participants of this study. Each level was
further divided into four, which was the number of sections per year level, to determine how many
students were selected per section. Stratified random sampling was used to select the participants.
This method of sampling divides the total population into certain strata or subgroups based on a
characteristic that the researchers aims to study. Random samples are then drawn from these
strata through (fish bowl method, table of random digits, to ensure adequate sampling of all
groups. This method reduces sampling bias, allows researchers to estimate within and between
strata outcomes; and improves accuracy of results (Howell et al., 2020).
Formula: n = N / (1+Ne2)
n = number of samples
N = total population
E = allowable sampling error
n = 228.3 or 228
Formula: D = (n / N) S
D = Desired sample
n = Number of samples
N = Total Population
S = Stratum Size
▪ will be used to determine when participants are grouped into certain antecedent
variables.
◦ Assumptions:
▪ > 30 participants
Parametric testing: data is evenly distributed, samples are more than 30, and randomization of sample.
T-test for independent samples if there 2 categories ina variable.
ANOVA if actegories are 3 or more
