Answer to Question 1

D
Hypoglycemia (insulin reaction) is a complication of type 1 diabetes that can be fatal unless it is recognized and treated promptly. While hypoglycemia can occur at any time of day, clients experience it most frequently before meals or when their prescribed insulin action peaks. Causes of hypoglycemia include skipping meals, eating late, engaging in unplanned exercise, and administering excess insulin.

Answer to Question 2

D
High-risk areas such as newborn nurseries, usually require about a minimum of 2 minutes for hand washing. Soiled hands usually require more time.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
