Question

a nurse is reinforcing teaching about self - administration of insulin to a client. which of the following teaching strategies should the nurse use to determine the client’s understanding of the teaching? use closed - ended questions. provide written material at a 9th - grade reading level. use passive listening skills. encourage the client to ask questions.

Explanation:

• Option 1: Closed - ended questions (yes/no, multiple - choice) only give limited info on understanding, not good for assessing depth of knowledge about insulin self - administration.
• Option 2: Providing written material at a 9th - grade reading level is about presenting information, not assessing if the client understands how to self - administer insulin.
• Option 3: Passive listening means the nurse is just hearing, not engaging to assess client understanding.
• Option 4: Encouraging the client to ask questions allows the client to clarify doubts, show what they don't understand, and the nurse can gauge understanding from the questions asked.

Answer:

D. Encourage the client to ask questions.
