Feedback:
Demonstration of appropriate testing procedure, understanding of steps to take in the case of low blood glucose, understanding of blood glucose goals, and understanding of frequency of blood glucose testing would be considered appropriate client goals for the nurse to set when teaching a client how to use a glucometer. Understanding of the pathophysiology of diabetes may be too much information for the client to grasp during instruction on how to use a glucometer. (This may be discussed at a later time).
