A client with a history of type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) and asthma is readmitted to the unit for the third time in two months with a current fasting blood sugar (FBS) is 325 mg/dL (18 mmol/L). The client describes to the nurse of not understanding why the blood glucose level continues to be out of control. Which intervention(s) should the nurse implement? (Select all that apply.)

A) Correct - Demonstrating the technique used to monitor blood glucose levels is crucial. Incorrect technique can lead to inaccurate readings, impacting insulin dosing decisions and blood sugar control. B) Correct - Some asthma medications, like corticosteroids, can elevate blood glucose levels. Evaluating the client's asthma medications is essential as they can contribute to fluctuations in blood sugar levels. C) Incorrect- Asking the client if they want a different manufacturer's glucose monitoring device is not helpful, because it does not address the underlying causes of the poor glycemic control. The client may also perceive this as a lack of confidence in their ability to manage their diabetes or as a criticism of their choice of device. The nurse should focus on educating the client on how to use their current device correctly and consistently, rather than suggesting a change that may not be necessary or feasible. D) Correct - Understanding the client's daily routine helps identify factors influencing blood glucose control, such as meal timing, activity level, and stress. This information aids in creating a personalized diabetes management plan. E) Correct - Ensuring the client uses a new insulin needle for each administration is important for preventing infection and complications. Reusing needles can affect injection site health and insulin absorption.
