2. The nurse must reassess the client before proceeding with instruction about insulin injections to prevent client frustration and decreased self-esteem, so the nurse as-sesses the client for learning barriers to devise a new teaching plan. The nurse should evaluate client readiness for learning, learning style, reading ability, visual and hearing acuity, and so on to identify issues interfering in client ability to achieve success.
