Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching? A. "I will carry a complex carbohydrate snack with me when I exercise." Rationale:The nurse should reinforce that the client should carry a simple carbohydrate such as hard candy or glucose tablets for use during exercise if the client becomes hypoglycemic. B. "I should exercise first thing in the morning before eating breakfast." Rationale:The nurse should reinforce that exercise should follow a meal. Exercising first thing in the morning on an empty stomach places the client at risk for hypoglycemia. C. "I should avoid injecting insulin into my thigh if I am going to go running." Rationale:The nurse should reinforce that the client should avoid injecting insulin into an area that will soon be exercised to avoid increasing the absorption rate of the insulin. D. "I will increase the intensity of my exercise routine if my urine is positive for ketones." Rationale:The nurse should reinforce that exercise should be avoided if ketones are present in the urine as this indicates an elevated blood glucose level or ketoacidosis. 2.A nurse is caring for a client who has Cushing's syndrome.
