The nurse is caring for a client with type 2 diabetes mellitus who had surgery for a large bowel resection with a colostomy placement. The client has now developed hyperglycemia which requires self-injections of insulin after discharge. When designing the postoperative plan of care, which outcome statement should the nurse use?
