A nurse is caring for an adolescent who has a new diagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus. Which of the following recommendations should the nurse make?

A. Store opened vials of insulin for up to 60 days. Incorrect. Opened vials of insulin should typically be stored at room temperature and used within 28 days. Storing insulin for up to 60 days is not recommended as it may lose potency.B. Monitor capillary blood glucose daily. Incorrect. Capillary blood glucose should be monitored multiple times a day (e.g., before meals and at bedtime) to manage type 1 diabetes effectively. Daily monitoring is insufficient for proper diabetes management.C. Follow up with physical therapy. Incorrect. While exercise is important, a routine follow-up with physical therapy is not a standard recommendation for managing type 1 diabetes unless there are specific physical issues that need addressing.D. Consult with a nutritionist. Correct. A nutritionist can provide valuable education on carbohydrate counting, meal planning, and managing blood sugar levels through diet. This is essential for adolescents newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes to help them manage their condition effectively.
