Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Instruct patients diagnosed with diabetes mellitus to perform low- to moderate-intensity exercises, carry a concentrated form of carbohydrates (sugar packets or hard candy), and wear a medical alert bracelet. Low intensity is not beneficial. Moderate to high and high intensity are not recommended for a beginner exercise program.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Have the patient keep the cane on the stronger side of the body. A person's cane length is equal to the distance between the greater trochanter and the floor. The cane should be moved first and then the weaker leg. For maximum support when walking, the patient places the cane forward 15 to 25 cm (6 to 10 inches), keeping body weight on both legs. The weaker leg is then moved forward to the cane, so body weight is divided between the cane and the stronger leg.
