A

Feedback
A Correct. Education cannot be effective unless the nurse understands the level of cognitive development of the student, child, or caregiver.
B Incorrect. Reading level does not generally affect the ability to verbally educate, and is not as critical in the process of learning.
C Incorrect. Grade level for the child will have a link to cognitive development, but cognitive development is more basic.
D Incorrect. IQ level must be taken into account, but the cognitive level of the child is more important.

Answer to Question 2

A
Insulin is left at room temperature to decrease the pain. The bottle is rolled gently to mix the insulin. Shaking produces air bubbles. Regular is always drawn up first. Air is injected into the NPH insulin first.
