Answer to Question 1

A
In fact, it is now believed that insulin should be administered at room temperature, not straight from the refrigerator, to help prevent insulin lipodystrophy.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Given the patient's cognitive impairment, the McGill Questionnaire and numeric rating are likely to be less accurate than a visual analog scale. Simple observation would need to be supplemented with an attempt at active assessment.
