A. Hyperglycemia occurring on "sick days": Glucagon is not used to treat hyperglycemia. During "sick days," clients with diabetes may experience elevated blood glucose levels, but glucagon is not for managing hyperglycemia. Instead, insulin adjustments are made.

B. Diabetic ketoacidosis: Glucagon is not used to treat diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). DKA is a severe complication of diabetes often caused by insulin deficiency, and it requires insulin therapy and fluid management to correct the underlying issues.

C. Hyperglycemia from insufficient insulin: Glucagon is not used for hyperglycemia due to insufficient insulin. The treatment for this condition is typically insulin therapy to lower blood glucose levels.

D. Hypoglycemia from insulin overdose: Glucagon is used to treat hypoglycemia caused by an insulin overdose, as it helps to raise blood glucose levels quickly by stimulating the liver to release glucose into the bloodstream. It is essential for managing severe hypoglycemia.

A. "This test detects antithyroid antibodies in your blood.": While antithyroid antibodies are measured in some thyroid disorders (like Hashimoto's thyroiditis), the TSH test specifically measures the level of thyroid-stimulating hormone produced by the pituitary gland.

B. "This test measures the amount of thyroid hormone that attaches to a protein in your blood.": TSH levels do not measure thyroid hormone bound to proteins; rather, TSH is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that regulates the production of thyroid hormones.

C. "This test measures the absorption of iodine and how it relates to the thyroid gland.": The TSH test does not measure iodine absorption. A radioactive iodine uptake test is used for assessing iodine absorption by the thyroid gland.

D. "The test determines whether your thyroid gland is overactive, appropriately active, or underactive.": The TSH test is used to assess thyroid function. The test helps determine whether the thyroid is working appropriately or if there is a dysfunction.
