Answer to Question 1

4
Feedback
1. A hypoglycemic reaction between breakfast and lunch would be associated with a short-acting insulin.
2. Between bedtime to breakfast the next morning would be associated with a long-acting insulin.
3. The 0830 to mid-morning hypoglycemia would be related to a rapid-acting insulin.
4. NPH is an intermediate-acting insulin that peaks in 6-12 hours. If administered at 0800, the risk of a hypoglycemic reaction would be at its peak between lunch and dinner.

Answer to Question 2

2
Feedback
1. Conversing about peers is not a focus of the assessment.
2. The adolescent needs time to express feelings during the assessment.
3. Adolescents should be spoken to in the same manner as an adult.
4. Confidentiality cannot be maintained if the adolescent speaks of hurting himself/herself or others.
