Question 1 of 5
If injection sites are not rotated regularly, the patient with diabetes mellitus may suffer from which of the following?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Lipodystrophy. If injection sites are not rotated regularly in diabetes mellitus patients, lipodystrophy can occur due to repeated trauma to the same area, leading to changes in fat distribution. This can affect insulin absorption and lead to erratic blood glucose levels. Petechiae (
B), hematoma (
C), and pustules (
D) are not typically associated with the lack of site rotation in insulin injections. Petechiae are tiny red or purple spots due to bleeding under the skin, hematoma is a localized collection of blood outside of blood vessels, and pustules are small pus-filled bumps on the skin, none of which are directly related to site rotation in insulin injections.
