A nurse implemented a new method of teaching clients about self-administration of insulin six months ago. Which of the following findings indicates the new method is effective?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
HbAIC numbers decreased
Rationale:
🥟The Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) test provides a snapshot of a client’s average blood glucose level over the past 2–3 months, making it the most reliable indicator of long-term diabetes management.
🥟A decrease in HbA1C values signifies improved glycemic control, which is a direct outcome of effective client education on insulin self-administration, lifestyle changes, and medication adherence.
🥟This is a meaningful metric for evaluating the effectiveness of a diabetes teaching initiative, whereas increased blood glucose or incidents of lipohypertrophy would suggest the teaching has not been successful.
