A diabetic pediatric client asks the nurse Where does the insulin come from? The nurse responds:
 
  1. Insulin comes from a plant.
  2. Insulin comes from natural minerals.
  3. Insulin has animal sources.
  4. Insulin is synthesized in a laboratory.

Question 2

The nurse overhears a husband telling his wife, who has had surgery, that the pain cannot be that bad and she should stop moaning.
 
  The nurse takes the husband, who is tense and wringing his hands, aside and responds to the husband with which of the following? 1. Would you like me to show you how to give your wife a back massage?
  2. Your wife is in a lot of pain, and you are making it worse.
  3. That was not a nice way to talk to your wife.
  4. Would you like me to ask the doctor for more medication?

Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: Insulin is not a plant-derived medication.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: The husband is demonstrating anger, most likely because he feels helpless to help his wife's pain. Many times, people will take the anger out on the person closest to them. This nurse recognizes that the husband is a client too, and offers to teach him some methods to help reduce his wife's pain, which will help him with his feelings of helplessness. Chastising the husband will only increase his own anxiety and anger. Asking for more medications before other nursing measures have been tried is inappropriate.
