Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The exchange list allows four carbohydrate choices each meal with each choice containing 15 g carbohydrate. The taco, rice, and papaya meal contains four carbohydrate choices. The other choices contain more than four.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: The nurse must know about the learning needs of individuals, families, and groups to develop plans for individualized needs. The nurse cannot assume this is a new diabetic, nor is it appropriate to seek information from other staff. The nurse cannot develop a teaching plan until the learning needs are carefully assessed.
