Question 1 of 5

A client with a new diagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus has been seen for 3 consecutive days in the emergency department with hyperglycemia. During the assessment, the client states to the nurse, 'I'm sorry to keep bothering you every day, but I just can't give myself those awful shots.' Which therapeutic comment is most appropriate for the nurse to respond?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: It is important to determine and deal with a client's underlying fear of self-injection. The nurse should determine whether a knowledge deficit exists. Positive reinforcement should occur rather than focusing on negative behaviors. Demanding that the client perform a behavior or skill is inappropriate.
