Question

The expected outcome for a client with a new diagnosis of diabetes mellitus (DM) is: client will describe appropriate actions when implementing the prescribed medication routine. Which statement by the client indicates the outcome expectation has been met?

Answer 1

The statement by the client indicating the outcome expectation has been met is as follows

"I will test my glucose level before meals and use sliding scale insulin."

Step-by-step explanation:

In diabetes mellitus , the blood glucose level remains high so that the fasting blood sugar and random blood sugar levels must be tested in order to control them.

There are different medications used in the cure of diabetes mellitus but the most important point is that the client will test the efficacy of the drug by measuring the blood glucose levels before meals and use the sliding scale insulin in order to control the blood glucose levels and bring them back to normal.
