Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Assisting patients with recognizing and clarifying fears and with developing coping strategies for those fears by listening is helpful.

Answer to Question 2

Diabetics should do a fingerstick blood glucose level test before each meal and at bedtime each day until their disease is under control. The HgbA1c serum test reveals the effectiveness of diabetes therapy for the preceding 8 to 12 weeks.
