Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Patients generally need less insulin with increased exercise, so the child should consume a snack to prevent hypoglycemia. Exercise is an integral part of diabetes management. Hypoglycemia is more likely to occur, and extra insulin is not indicated.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Lispro acts faster than other insulins, and patients should be taught to give this medication not more than 5 minutes before eating.
