Simulated
The nurse is developing a care plan for the client diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. The nurse identifies the problem 'high risk for hyperglycemia related to noncompliance with the medication regimen.' Which statement is an appropriate short-term goal for the client?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Demonstrating correct insulin injection technique addresses noncompliance, a short-term, client-centered goal. Glucose levels and kidney function are outcomes, and nurse monitoring is not client-focused.
