Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback
A Rotating injection sites is appropriate because insulin absorption varies at
different sites.
B Keeping records of serum glucose and insulin sites and amounts is appropriate.
C Children with type 1 diabetes will require life-long insulin therapy.
D Prompt treatment of hypoglycemia reduces the possibility of a severe reaction.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
To help patients better understand reproductive functioning and sexual health throughout their life, an expected outcome might include encouraging women over 40 to have mammograms. The process of reproduction would be appropriate for younger patients. Teaching on safer sex practices would be appropriate for an adolescent. Breast self-examinations should be conducted every month.
