A 9-year-old child is newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus. The nurse is planning for home care with the child and the family and determines that which is an age-appropriate activity for health maintenance?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: School-age children have the cognitive and motor skills to draw up and administer insulin with adult supervision.
