Question 1 of 5
The nurse is planning discharge teaching for a client with type 2 diabetes mellitus who has a new prescription for insulin glargine. Which action should the nurse plan to include in the discharge teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Teach the client self-injection skills for daily subcutaneous administration. This is the correct action because insulin glargine is a long-acting insulin that is usually administered once daily as a subcutaneous injection. Teaching the client how to self-inject ensures proper administration and adherence to the prescribed treatment regimen. Option A is incorrect as insulin glargine is not used for severe hypoglycemia. Option C is incorrect as insulin glargine is typically dosed once daily and not based on before-meal blood sugar readings. Option D is incorrect because increasing insulin dosage in the setting of ketoacidosis is not appropriate.
