NCLEX RN Practice Question

The correct answer is to explore the client's feelings and concerns about learning to self-administer insulin injections. This approach helps build trust, uncovers possible barriers such as fear or anxiety, and allows the nurse to address these concerns before proceeding. It is not effective to introduce a hands-on demonstration or instructional video if the client’s emotional readiness and willingness to learn are not first assessed. Simply providing written materials or assuming the client is ready to proceed ignores critical emotional and psychological factors that can hinder effective learning.
