Answer to Question 1

1. Maintenance of proper glycemic control

Rationale:
Maintenance of proper control over glucose levels is imperative to stop the damaging effects associated with abnormally high levels of blood glucose. Yearly eye examinations, proper foot care, and being aware of the manifestations of coronary heart disease are important, but proper blood glucose control will decrease the likelihood of these complications of diabetes from occurring.

Answer to Question 2

C
If an error is made while documenting, use a single line to cross out the error, then date, time, and sign the correction according to organizational policy. Avoid erasing, crossing out, or using correction fluid.

Did you know?

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
