Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
The nurse informs the client that obesity is a risk factor associated with type 2 diabetes. Young age and regular exercise are not risk factors for type 2 diabetes. Polyuria is a symptom of diabetes and not a risk factor leading to type 2 diabetes.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
As the ongoing assessment activity, the nurse should observe the client for hypoglycemic episodes. Documenting family medical history and assessing the client's skin for ulcers, cuts, and sores should be completed before administering the drug. Lipodystrophy occurs if the sites of insulin injection are not rotated.
