A nurse is caring for a 7-year-old client who has an upper respiratory infection and a history of type 1 diabetes mellitus. Which of the following statements by the mother indicates a need for further instruction?

A. Wash bed linens in cold water. Washing bed linens in cold water is ineffective for killing pinworm eggs. Hot water should be used to properly sanitize linens and kill the eggs.
B. Clean the bathroom with bleach solution. While cleaning the bathroom with bleach can help reduce contamination, it is not a primary or effective measure for preventing pinworm spread and reinfection in a household setting.
C. Keep children's nails short. Keeping nails short reduces the likelihood of the child scratching the perianal area, where pinworm eggs are deposited, and then ingesting the eggs through hand-to-mouth contact. This helps prevent the spread and reinfection of pinworms.
D. Dress child in loose-fitting underwear. Loose-fitting underwear does not specifically help in preventing the spread or reinfection of pinworms. Tight-fitting underwear may actually be better to prevent the spread of eggs to other surfaces.

A. Insulin is absorbed most rapidly when injected in the thigh. Insulin is actually absorbed most rapidly in the abdomen, not the thigh.
B. Use cold insulin for injection to minimize site pain. Insulin should be at room temperature for injection to reduce discomfort and avoid altered absorption rates. Cold insulin can increase injection pain.
C. Massage the site after injection to promote absorption. Massaging the injection site can cause unpredictable insulin absorption and is not recommended.
D. Rotate the injection site to keep insulin levels consistent. Rotating the injection sites helps prevent lipodystrophy and ensures consistent insulin absorption. It helps maintain stable blood glucose levels.
