Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Diabetics are recommended to eat a carbohydrate snack before exercise if the glucose level is less than 100 mg/dL.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
It is best to emphasize things to do instead of not to do when trying to teach good eating habits. Many individuals view dieting as punishment and will not want to participate in making any changes. A nurse should listen to the client and not be confrontational. Asking a social worker or reporting the client to the physician will not help in the situation and only make the client less willing to cooperate. The use of graphs and charts would possibly be seen by the client as just another diet tactic.
