Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Rotating injection sites helps prevent lipohypertrophy, which is the thickening of subcutaneous tissue due to repeated insulin injections at the same site.

Choice B rationale

Performing injections at the same location every time increases the risk of lipohypertrophy, leading to poor insulin absorption and erratic glucose control.

Choice C rationale

Administering an additional dose of insulin as needed does not address the issue of lipohypertrophy and can lead to hypoglycemia if not carefully monitored.

Choice D rationale

Insulin is a peptide hormone that must be injected. Taking it orally is ineffective as it would be broken down in the digestive system.

A. Metoprolol. B. Enoxaparin. C. Heparin. D. Simvastatin.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Metoprolol is a beta-blocker that is commonly used to manage hypertension and control heart rate. It works by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors, which decreases heart rate and blood pressure.

Choice B rationale

Enoxaparin is an anticoagulant used to prevent and treat deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, not primarily to manage hypertension.

Choice C rationale

Heparin is an anticoagulant used to prevent and treat blood clots, and it is not indicated for the management of hypertension.

Choice D rationale

Simvastatin is a lipid-lowering medication used to manage high cholesterol levels and is not used to manage hypertension.
