Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The anterior thigh is ideal for morning regular insulin in Type I diabetes, offering steady absorption upper arm is harder to self-administer, abdomen is faster (better for rapid-acting), and buttocks are slower.

Question 5 of 5
Differentiation of hysterical fit from epileptic fit:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Hysterical fits, also known as psychogenic non-epileptic seizures, differ significantly from epileptic fits in their presentation and triggers. Unlike epileptic seizures, which are caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain and can occur during sleep (choice A), hysterical fits typically do not. Epileptic seizures often result in physical injuries (choice B) due to uncontrolled movements and falls, and they may lead to incontinence (choice C) because of loss of bodily control during the event. In contrast, hysterical fits are more likely to occur in the presence of an audience (choice D), as they are often linked to psychological stressors or a need for attention. This situational occurrence distinguishes them from the involuntary nature of epilepsy. Nurses must assess these differences to provide appropriate care, as managing a hysterical fit involves addressing psychological factors rather than administering anti-seizure medication. Thus, 'occurs when people are watching' is the key differentiator, making D the correct answer.
