Question

a nurse is assisting with teaching a client about self - administration of insulin. which of the following actions should the nurse take? repeat the least important information to the client. have the client perform a return demonstration of the procedure. provide the client with educational materials written at an 8th - grade reading level dim the lights in the clients room before beginning the teaching.

Explanation:

• For the option "Repeat the least important information to the client": It's not appropriate as important information for insulin administration should be emphasized, not the least important.
• For "Have the client perform a return demonstration of the procedure": This is a key step in teaching skills like insulin self - administration as it allows the nurse to assess if the client has learned the procedure correctly.
• For "Provide the client with educational materials written at an 8th - grade reading level": While appropriate reading level materials are good, the question is about the action during teaching the self - administration (a skill), and return demonstration is more direct for skill teaching.
• For "Dim the lights in the client's room before beginning the teaching": Dimming lights would not be helpful for the client to see the procedure clearly, a well - lit environment is better for teaching a hands - on skill like insulin injection.

Answer:

B. Have the client perform a return demonstration of the procedure.
