Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2

Answer to Question 2

2. The vitamin B12 injections are helping the peripheral neuropathy.

Rationale:
The client states that he knows when he needs a vitamin B12 injection because there is a change in sensation in his fingers and toes. The nurse should realize that the injections are helping the peripheral neuropathy. The other choices are incorrect either because the nurse does not know what the client thinks about having injections or if the client has poor nutrition or does not like to take vitamins.
