A nurse is reinforcing teaching with client who has diabetes mellitus and is taking insulin lispro and insulin glargine. Which the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?

A) I will take my inhaler treatment before each meal and at bedtime:
Budesonide is a corticosteroid inhaler used for asthma management, but it is not specifically required to be taken before meals. The timing of inhaler use should be directed by the healthcare provider based on the individual treatment plan. Taking the inhaler at meals is not typically necessary unless specifically instructed, and there is no standard requirement for it to be taken at bedtime either.

B) I will rinse my mouth and gargle with water after each inhaler treatment:
Rinsing the mouth and gargling with water after using an inhaled corticosteroid, like budesonide, is an essential step to reduce the risk of developing oral thrush, a fungal infection. Corticosteroids can promote fungal growth in the mouth, so rinsing helps to clear any residual medication from the mouth and prevent this complication. This statement demonstrates an accurate understanding of the proper use of the inhaler.

C) I should use my inhaler when I have an asthma attack:
Budesonide is a maintenance medication used to control asthma symptoms over the long term, not for immediate relief during an asthma attack. For acute asthma attacks, a fast-acting bronchodilator like albuterol is used, not a corticosteroid like budesonide. The adolescent’s statement reflects a misunderstanding of the purpose of budesonide, which is for prevention and long-term control.

D) I should use my inhaler before exercising:
Using an inhaler before exercise may be appropriate for clients who have exercise-induced bronchoconstriction or asthma, but budesonide is not typically used as a pre-exercise medication. Instead, a short-acting bronchodilator is used before exercise to prevent asthma symptoms during activity. Budesonide is generally used for long-term asthma management rather than for acute symptom relief.

A) Believes the death is punishment for bad behavior: Preschoolers, typically ages 3 to 5, often engage in magical thinking and may believe that death is a result of their own actions or bad behavior. They may see death as a punishment for something they did wrong, as they have difficulty understanding the permanence and inevitability of death. This egocentric thinking is typical for their developmental stage.

B) Recognizes the parent will never wake up: Preschoolers may not yet fully comprehend the permanence of death. They may think the deceased parent will eventually wake up or return. This belief reflects their limited understanding of death, which they may view as reversible or temporary, especially if they haven't encountered death before.

C) Understands that everyone dies eventually: Preschoolers do not generally have the cognitive ability to grasp the concept that everyone dies eventually. This understanding develops later, typically during the concrete operational stage of development (around age 7 or 8), when children begin to understand death as permanent and universal.

D) Expresses curiosity about the funeral service: While some preschoolers may express curiosity about events like a funeral, it is more likely that their curiosity would be centered on simple, tangible aspects of death (such as asking questions about where the person went or what happens to their body) rather than the ceremony itself. At this stage, children may not fully understand the cultural or symbolic meanings of a funeral service.
