A client is being educated about insulin and is able to repeat the newly acquired information using their own words to the nurse.
Which of the following statements confirm the teaching has been effective?

The nurse should ask this question to support safe medication administration because the client is to receive medications that are highly teratogenic. Teratogens are substances that can cause congenital disorders and fetal abnormalities.

The nurse should avoid giving teratogenic medications to pregnant clients or clients who may become pregnant.

Choice A is wrong because the family history of cancer is not relevant to the teratogenic effects of the medications.

Choice C is wrong because the previous experience of severe side effects from a drug is not related to the risk of fetal harm.

Choice D is wrong because the allergy to any prescription or non-prescription drugs is not specific to the teratogenic potential of the medications.

This is because anti-embolism stockings are designed to prevent swelling and blood clots in the legs by applying graduated compression, which is tighter around the ankle and looser as it moves up the leg. Applying the stockings in the morning before any swelling occurs ensures a proper fit and optimal blood flow.

Choice A is wrong because massaging the legs can dislodge a blood clot and cause a pulmonary embolism.

Choice C is wrong because wetting the stockings can make them harder to apply and reduce their effectiveness.

Choice D is wrong because removing the stockings before bathing can increase the risk of swelling and clotting, and applying fresh ones afterward can be difficult and uncomfortable.
