What is the target blood glucose range for hospitalized patients?

  1. 140-180 mg/dL

  2. 100-140 mg/dL

  3. 180-220 mg/dL

  4. 90-130 mg/dL

The correct answer is: 140-180 mg/dL

While maintaining hospitalized patients' blood glucose levels, it is important to keep it within a specific range. This range, as recommended by The American Diabetes Association (ADA), is between 140-180 mg/dL. Option B has a lower range and Option C has a higher range, both of which are beyond the recommended target. Option D has a slightly lower range that is within the recommended range, but it does not account for potential fluctuations and variations in blood glucose levels. Therefore, Option A is the most accurate and widely accepted answer for the target blood glucose range for hospitalized patients.
