    A nurse is providing teaching to an adolescent who has type 1 diabetes mellitus. Which of the following should the nurse include in the teaching?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Glucagon is used to treat severe hypoglycemia, not hyperglycemia. B. Glyburide is an oral antidiabetic medication used to treat type 2 diabetes and is not appropriate for individuals with type 1 diabetes. C. Annual influenza vaccination is recommended for individuals with type 1 diabetes, as they are at increased risk for complications from influenza. D. Insulin should be injected into subcutaneous tissue, commonly in areas like the abdomen or thigh—not into the deltoid muscle.
