Scenario:

The registered nurse is caring for a 15-year-old patient who was just diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. The patient reported that he plays for his high-school soccer team and “passed out” during a game. As the RN begins to teach the patient about self-monitoring of blood glucose, dietary considerations and insulin injections, the patient states, “I am not going to do this, stick myself with needles every day for the rest of my life. Can’t you just give me pills?” The patient also expresses concern about his status with the team now that he is “sickly.”

Address the following:

1. Discuss an approach the RN can take to assist this patient to cope with this new diagnosis that will result in understanding of the disease and compliance with treatment.

2. What factors would the RN need to consider?

3. Discuss which steps of the teaching-learning process were likely not employed.

4. How might it have been approached differently?
