A nurse is caring for a client with diabetes who requires regular blood glucose monitoring and insulin administration. Which action best demonstrates the nurse's commitment to providing cost-effective care?
Educate the client on maintaining and using a glucose meter for long-term monitoring.
Administer insulin without seeking input from the client to save time during care.
Prioritize lowering costs over addressing specific patient needs when selecting interventions.
Reuse blood glucose lancets for the same client to minimize supply usage.
Reusing supplies such as lancets compromises patient safety and increases the risk of infection. Educating the client on reusable equipment, such as glucose meters, helps reduce long-term healthcare costs while maintaining quality care. Administering insulin without patient input overlooks the opportunity to involve the client in managing their care, and prioritizing cost over patient needs neglects the focus on individualized care. Cost-effective care requires balancing economic considerations and maintaining excellent patient outcomes.
