Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

The client is at risk for Ineffective Self Health Management, as she has two small children that need care and a part-time job that is sedentary. The nurse should include instructions in appropriate body mechanics for lifting and ways to modify the work environment. The client may or may not be prescribed NSAIDs. Suggesting that the client take time off from work or have extended family members care for the children may or may not be appropriate and should not be included in this client's plan of care.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D

The rate of absorption and peak of action of insulin differ according to the site. The site that allows the most rapid absorption is the abdomen, followed by the deltoid muscle, then the thigh, and then the hip. Because of the rapid absorption, the abdomen is the recommended site.
