The nurse is caring for an adolescent with type 1 diabetes mellitus who asks, "Why do I have to stick needles in myself? Why can't I just take a pill?" In responding to the client, the nurse would include what information? Select all that apply.
Standard Text: Select all that apply.
1. The pills stimulate the pancreas to secrete insulin, and a type 1 diabetic's pancreas doesn't make insulin.
2. Insulin can't be taken orally because the stomach acids would destroy it.
3. Insulin is required only until early adulthood, when the condition stabilizes.
4. Control of weight and obtaining adequate exercise will eliminate the need for insulin.
5. Proper administration of insulin reduces risk of complications.
