The nurse follows the nursing process when conducting medication education about insulin. The step of evaluation is best demonstrated by which question?
 
  1. Is your abdomen the best place to inject insulin?
  2. What questions do you have about insulin?
  3. Can you recognize when you are experiencing hypoglycemia?
  4. Can you tell me four points you remember about how to take your insulin?

Question 2

A patient with hypertension is taking a potent antihypertensive without results. The patient is concerned when the health care provider orders a new drug. The nurse explains,
 
  1. The drug you took is very potent, and a higher dose is needed.
  2. The new drug has greater efficacy, so it will help reduce your blood pressure.
  3. The prescriber must have made an error in the orders.
  4. Efficacy in treating your hypertension is more important than potency.
  5. You are correct. I think the prescriber meant to order both drugs.

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: The nurse is evaluating the effectiveness of medication education by asking the patient for feedback from the education provided. Asking the patient what questions she has about insulin is an assessment question. Asking the patient if her abdomen is the best place to inject insulin is an assessment question. Asking the patient if she can recognize when she is experiencing hypoglycemia is an assessment question.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2,4
Rationale 1: A higher dose of a potent drug may cause more serious adverse effects without greater efficacy.
Rationale 2: Efficacy is more important than potency in providing blood pressure control.
Rationale 3: This is not an appropriate response by the nurse.
Rationale 4: Efficacy is more important than potency in pharmacologic treatment.
Rationale 5: This is not an appropriate response, and the nurse cannot assume the order was supposed to be for two drugs.
