Answer to Question 1

3
Hemoglobin A1c is a blood test that is representative of the average blood glucose level over the past several weeks, and it would provide the most accurate information regarding a client's adherence to medication and diet therapy to control type 1 diabetes mellitus. Fasting blood glucose level would provide information about 1 day. A 2-hour postprandial glucose level would provide information regarding the amount of insulin available to digest a meal. A blood glucose level at hour of sleep provides information regarding medication management for one day.

Answer to Question 2

2, 3, 4
The most common types of wound drains include the Penrose, Davol, and Hemovac. An ostomy appliance is not a postoperative wound drain. A chest tube collection device is not a postoperative wound drain.
