Question 1 of 5

A nurse is providing instructions to the parent of a 10-year-old child who has recently been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM). The parent expresses a fear of needles and is unable to perform the procedure of administering subcutaneous insulin injections to the child. What action should the nurse take?

A. Evaluate the parent's ability to care for the child. B. Determine if the child can administer the insulin. C. Encourage the parent to handle the needles. D. Inquire if there is another person who can assist with the injections.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Determining if the child can self-administer insulin addresses the parent's fear while ensuring treatment. Evaluating parenting skills or encouraging needle handling may not resolve the issue, and another person's availability is secondary.
