My three year old son had a sugary donut and then proceeded to take a hot bath afterwards. after the donut he was yawning a lot, and very sleepy. he is warm, and looks out of it. nurse said to keep an eye on him. could this be a sugar crash?

A bath, especially in the evening, can help a toddler sleep. It likely has nothing to do with the sugary snack. Children have good control systems over their sugar levels. You may wish to control the doses of sugar but most kids will adjust quite well.

This sounds like nothing to do with the donut and more likely that he might be coming down with an illness. Take his temperature if you haven't already and watch for other signs of illness, especially if he remains sleepy (when it's not bedtime). If he develops other symptoms, make sure he is drinking fluids and contact his doctor in the AM.
