  2. See the doctor every six months.
  3. Eat properly.
  4. Maintain stable blood sugar level.

Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: Maintaining stable blood sugar levels within normal limits is the single most important way to reduce the risk of complications. In order to maintain a stable blood sugar level the other options (eating properly, adequate follow up with physician and exercising) are good strategies to use.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: Drawing back on the plunger is contraindicated for clients administering insulin because it causes tissue trauma. The other statements are correct.
