A nurse is teaching a class to a group of newly diagnosed patients with type 1 diabetes. The discussion today is on the effect of diet and exercise as it relates to blood sugar. What is this intervention an example of?
A) Psychosocial caring
B) Coping enhancement
C) Genetic counseling
D) Decision-making support
Ans: B
Feedback: Coping enhancement involves helping people adapt to perceived stressors or changes that interfere with daily living and functioning. The other answers are incorrect because while psychosocial caring is important in the provision of care for patients with Type 1 diabetes, it is not related to diet and exercise effects on blood sugar. Decision-making support is an important nursing intervention in many genetic counseling situations. This scenario does not involve genetic counseling.
