Answer to Question 1



Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, C, D

Evidence that care provided to a school-age child with type 1 diabetes mellitus has been effective include documentation of blood glucose readings with associated insulin dosages, demonstrating the correct technique to draw and self-inject daily insulin dosages, and having an emergency glucagon kit available for use if necessary. Attending school, doing homework and watching family members participate in sports are not meeting the client's needs for physical activity and would indicate that care has not been effective.
