Answer to Question 1

D
Exercise lowers blood glucose levels. A snack with 15 to 30 grams of carbohydrates before exercise will decrease the risk of hypoglycemia. Soccer is an appropriate sport for a child with IDDM as long as the child prevents hypoglycemia by eating a snack. Participation in sports is not contraindicated for a child with IDDM. The child with IDDM may participate in sports activities regardless of climate.

Answer to Question 2

D
Accidents are the major cause of death in children, including deaths caused by ingestion of poisonous materials. Home and environmental safety assessments are priorities in this age group because of toddlers' increased mobility, which puts them at greater risk in an unsafe environment. Although it is appropriate to give parents of a 15-month-old child toilet training guidelines, the child is not usually ready for toilet training, so it is not the priority teaching intervention. Parents of a 15-month-old child should have been advised to begin weaning from the breast or bottle at 6 to 12 months of age. Educating a parent about preschool readiness is important and can occur later in the parents' educational process. The priority teaching intervention for the parents of a 15-month-old child is the importance of a safe environment.
