Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

The client is aware that dietary changes will be needed to manage this chronic disease, indicating that the client understands the teaching the nurse has instituted. Not all clients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus require medication, such as insulin, to manage the disease process. Diabetes is chronic, not acute. Depending on the client's response to the disease, the outcome may not become worse or lead to death.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, B, C, E

Healthy People 2020 identifies a variety of programs that can be used to promote health at the worksite, including information dissemination, health risk appraisal and wellness assessment, and lifestyle and behavior change. Specific programs can address depression, substance abuse, and injury and violence prevention. Immunization programs are not relevant to the worksite.
