Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Emphasizing the patient's support and psychosocial needs would be a priority over recommending particular therapies. Assuring the client of survival or the absence of pain would be inaccurate.

Answer to Question 2

C
Humalog begins to take effect in less than half the time of regular, fast-acting insulin. The new formula can be injected 15 minutes before a meal.
