A nurse is providing teaching about activities to promote mobility with a client who has osteoporosis. Which of the following statements should the nurse identify as an understanding of the teaching?

A) Drink 8 oz of milk when hypoglycemia develops:
While consuming a fast-acting carbohydrate is important during hypoglycemia, 8 oz of milk may not be the most effective choice. Typically, glucose tablets or juice are recommended as they provide a quicker absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.

B) Initiate a 1,400-calorie diet daily:
Caloric needs should be individualized based on the adolescent’s age, weight, activity level, and overall health. A fixed 1,400-calorie diet might not be appropriate for every adolescent and could lead to insufficient energy intake or excessive restriction.

C) Rotate the insulin injection site to a different area of the body with every other injection:
While rotating injection sites is important to prevent lipodystrophy, it is generally recommended to use different sites within the same area (such as different spots on the abdomen) rather than entirely different areas of the body with each injection. This ensures consistent absorption of insulin.

D) Keep unopened insulin refrigerated at 4.44° C (40° F):
Unopened insulin should be stored in the refrigerator to maintain its potency until it is ready to be used. This temperature range ensures the insulin remains stable and effective for use.

A) "A parent is supposed to pass before their child": This statement reflects ongoing grief and a struggle with the loss, indicating the client is still grappling with the emotional impact rather than moving toward reorganization and acceptance.

B) "My partner and I have plans to open a small business": This statement demonstrates that the client is beginning to focus on future goals and engaging in activities that signify a return to normalcy and investment in life. This reflects reorganization and acceptance of the loss as they are planning for the future.

C) "I have put all the pictures of my child in the attic": Putting away pictures of the child might indicate avoidance or difficulty coping with reminders of the loss. This action suggests the client may still be in the process of dealing with grief rather than having reached acceptance.

D) "My partner says I seem to forget things frequently": Frequent forgetfulness can be a symptom of ongoing grief and emotional distress. This indicates that the client may still be experiencing significant emotional and cognitive impacts from the loss.
