Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Before administering insulin, patient safety requires that two nurses always check the dosage. Assessing the patient's understanding of the disease may or may not be appropriate or necessary at this time. Injection sites are not massaged before administration. It is not necessary to assess urine for the presence of glucose.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Deficiency states of both vitamin B12 and folic acid present similarly as megaloblastic anemia (characterized by abnormally large, immature red blood cells). These deficiencies do not contribute to hyperuricemia, hepatitis, or lymphoma.
