NCLEX RN Practice Question
The nurse is preparing to teach a 45-year-old client how to self-administer insulin injections. During the initial assessment, the client appears distracted, avoids eye contact, and states, 'I’m not good with needles; maybe I can learn this later.' What is the best initial action the nurse should take to address the client’s learning needs?
Provide written materials about insulin administration for the client to review.
Explore the client’s feelings and concerns about self-administering injections.
Show the client a video demonstrating how to self-administer insulin injections.
Proceed with a hands-on demonstration to help the client practice the injection technique.
