The nurse is working with a client who was recently started on insulin therapy. The client's young daughter asks, Why do you have to give her a shot? Why can't you just give her a pill? Which of the following responses by the nurse is best?
 
  A. Our bodies make insulin normally, so it is a liquid medication.
  B. We do have diabetic medications in pill form. I'm not sure why the doctor ordered it this way for your mom.
  C. Insulin is manufactured and given this way so it absorbs more rapidly into the body.
  D. The acid in your mother's stomach would destroy this medication, so it can't be swallowed.
