The nurse is doing discharge teaching with the parents of a newly diagnosed type I diabetic. The nurse knows that the mother needs more teaching when she states:
 
  1. I will give my child insulin if she experiences shakiness, pallor, and sweating.
   2. I will give my child a snack before she practices afterschool soccer.
   3. I will bring my child to the doctor every three months to have her HbA1c checked.
   4. I understand my child might be experiencing hyperglycemia if she has thirst and flushed skin.

Rationale:
1. A child with shakiness, pallor, and sweating is exhibiting symptoms of hypoglycemia. Giving insulin would make this situation worse.
2. The child needs a snack before practicing soccer to prevent hypoglycemia.
3. Diabetic children need to have an HbA1c done every three months.
4. A diabetic child with hyperglycemia might experience thirst and flushed skin.
