A nurse is teaching a patient about their continuous glucose monitor (GCM). Which statement will the nurse include in the education session? CGM sensors must be replaced every 7 to 14 days. Most CGM systems measure glucose every 5 minutes. CGM sensors assess glucose in the interstitial fluid. When theĀ glucose levels rise quickly, the CGM sensor reading may be lower than the blood glucose reading.

A 57-year-old male was admitted with active esophageal and gastric variceal bleeding. He was initially stabilized with blood products and started on octreotide to reduce portal blood flow. At the time of endoscopy, bleeding was not controlled so a decision was made to use balloon tamponade (Minnesota Tube) to provide manual compression. What are nursing interventions? Frequent oral care and nasal care. Monitoring for esophageal rupture. Check the balloons for patency before insertion. Use a sphygmomanometer to maintain the desired pressure of the esophageal balloon.
