Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing discharge teaching with a client who has a new diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus and a prescription for exenatide. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Inject the medication into the subcutaneous tissue of your abdomen. Exenatide is a medication used to manage blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes. Injecting it into the abdomen's subcutaneous tissue allows for proper absorption and effectiveness. Injecting in other areas may lead to inconsistent absorption.
Choice A is incorrect as exenatide is usually taken before meals, not at bedtime.
Choice B is incorrect as medication should be discarded after 30 days, not 60.
Choice D is unrelated to exenatide and may be a side effect of other medications.
