    A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has type 1 diabetes mellitus. Which of the following statements from the client indicates to the nurse the teaching is effective?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Rotating injection sites within recommended areas—abdomen, thigh, or back of the arm—helps ensure consistent absorption and prevents lipodystrophy, indicating correct understanding. B. Insulin should never be frozen; freezing can destroy its effectiveness. C. Insulin doses should not be increased if a meal is missed, as this may cause hypoglycemia. D. Priming an insulin pen is correct, but typically only 2 units are recommended for most pens, depending on manufacturer instructions; the focus on injection site rotation is the key indicator of effective teaching.
