Question 1 of 5
A client has been diagnosed with diabetes mellitus and must learn how to do his own finger stick blood sugar analysis as part of his treatment. The client has been sullen and uncommunicative since receiving the diagnosis. How can the nurse best increase the client's motivation to learn?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Correct
Answer: A
Rationale: By encouraging the client's participation each time the procedure is performed, the nurse empowers the client to take an active role in managing their diabetes. This approach promotes autonomy, self-confidence, and a sense of control over their own health. It also fosters a sense of ownership and responsibility, which can increase the client's motivation to learn and perform the finger stick blood sugar analysis regularly.
Summary of other choices:
B: Offering to do the procedure for the client each time removes the client's involvement and responsibility, hindering their motivation and learning process.
C: Teaching the client's support system how to perform the procedure may be helpful but does not directly address the client's own motivation and involvement.
D: Demonstrating the procedure on the nurse does not actively engage the client in the learning process and may not increase motivation or confidence in performing the procedure themselves.
