Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a school-age child who has type 1 diabetes mellitus and his parents about illness management. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?

Choice B is incorrect because insulin should not be withheld without medical advice.
Choice C is incorrect as blood glucose levels over 350 mg/dL should prompt immediate action, not just notification.
Choice D is incorrect as fluid intake is important in managing diabetes and preventing dehydration.
