The nurse is teaching a 64-year-old with impaired vision and newly diagnosed diabetes to manage diabetes and insulin provision. The nurse's most appropriate course of action is to
1. Have the patient practice injecting her thigh with an empty syringe.
2. Encourage the patient to identify a family member who will be giving the insulin shots.
3. Obtain small insulin syringes that the patient can use to draw up the insulin.
4. Instruct the patient to attend a diabetic support group that is offered on a monthly basis.
Question 2
The nurse is providing care for a 32-year-old with suspected bowel obstruction who is receiving intramuscular injections of narcotic pain medication. The patient states, I hate shots. Why can't I just take a pill? The nurse could best respond with
1. We want to avoid giving you medication that you have to digest.
2. Giving the pain medication this way will make it last longer.
3. Narcotic medications are destroyed by the acid in your stomach.
4. The drug will be absorbed more slowly this way.
