Ans: C
Feedback:
Elevation of glucocorticoid levels, such as during stressful events, can lead to hyperglycemia. Tissue trauma does not cause gluconeogenesis, and illness does not inhibit the action of glucagon. The dawn phenomenon is not a likely cause of the client's disruption in blood sugar levels.
