A nurse is providing care for a client who has recently been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus. To focus on affective learning with this client,the nurse should use which of the following interventions?

The correct answer is C. When a client is newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus, focusing on affective learning involves exploring their feelings about dietary modifications. This intervention helps the nurse understand the client's emotional response to the diagnosis and changes in their lifestyle, which is crucial for effective education and support. Reviewing insulin therapy (A) is important for cognitive learning, not affective learning. Asking for a return demonstration of insulin injection (B) focuses on psychomotor skills, not affective learning. Having the client practice blood-glucose monitoring (D) is related to procedural skills and not specifically addressing the emotional aspects of the client's learning.
