Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to a client who has type 2 diabetes mellitus and is starting to take immediate-release exenatide. Which of the following client statements indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: "I will take this medication one hour before morning and evening meals." This statement indicates an understanding of the teaching because immediate-release exenatide should be taken 1 hour before the two main meals to maximize its effectiveness in controlling blood sugar levels. This timing helps the medication work alongside the body's natural insulin response to meals.
A: Incorrect because the injector pen should be discarded 30 days after first use, not after two months.
B: Incorrect because the medication should be injected subcutaneously, not into the muscle.
C: Incorrect because open injector pens should be stored in the refrigerator, not at room temperature.
In summary, option D is correct as it aligns with the timing requirements for immediate-release exenatide administration.
