Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increasing daily physical activity, educating parents about the risk of obesity, and working with the cafeteria to decrease fat in the foods served can all help reduce the risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus. Testing each child's urine monthly and teaching parents to avoid administering aspirin to their children are not directly related to reducing the risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus.
