A nurse is teaching a client who has diabetes mellitus about how to prevent hypoglycemia when taking insulin. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

A) This is correct as eating a snack before exercising can help to prevent hypoglycemia by providing glucose for energy and preventing a sudden drop in blood sugar levels.

C) This is incorrect as increasing the insulin dose without consulting with the provider can cause hypoglycemia by lowering the blood sugar levels too much.

B) This is correct as using two client identifiers is another one of the six rights of medication administration and helps to verify the identity of the client.

C) This is correct as asking the client to state their name and date of birth is another way of verifying the identity of the client and can also help to engage them in their care.

D) This is incorrect as documenting the medication administration should be done as soon as possible after giving the medication to avoid errors and omissions.

E) This is correct as following the six rights of medication administration (right client, right medication, right dose, right route, right time, right documentation) is a standard practice that helps to prevent medication errors.
