Question 1 of 5
A nurse is developing a teaching plan for an older adult client who has a new prescription for insulin glargine. Which of the following expected outcomes should the nurse include in the plan?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Correct
Answer: A. The client will wear his reading glasses when drawing up a dose of insulin glargine.
Rationale: Older adults may experience age-related changes in vision, making it important for them to wear reading glasses to accurately measure and administer insulin. This ensures precise dosing and reduces the risk of medication errors. Using insulin glargine before meals is not correct as it is a long-acting insulin typically administered once daily. Using the deltoid muscle as an injection site is not recommended for insulin glargine, as it is usually injected into the subcutaneous tissue of the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm for slower absorption. Taking an additional dose of insulin glargine prior to exercise is unnecessary and may lead to hypoglycemia.
