A nurse is assisting with developing a discharge plan for a client who has a new diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. The client is independent and lives alone. Which of the following interventions should the nurse plan to include?

A. Provide the client with 1 week's supply of insulin syringes: While supplying necessary equipment is part of discharge planning, providing only a one-week supply may not be sufficient for ongoing self-management. Clients should receive instruction on obtaining refills and maintaining adequate supplies, rather than limiting to a short-term provision. B. Arrange for a home health nurse to visit the client daily: Daily home health visits are generally reserved for clients who are dependent or unable to safely manage insulin administration or blood glucose monitoring. Since this client is independent and capable of self-care, daily visits are not necessary. C. Notify the family of the client's health status: For an independent adult, sharing medical information with family requires client consent. Unless the client requests it, notifying family is not an appropriate routine intervention and may violate privacy regulations. D. Refer the client to a diabetic support group: Referral to a support group provides education, emotional support, and strategies for managing diabetes independently. Participation helps the client build self-efficacy, learn practical skills, and connect with others managing the condition, making it a valuable intervention for discharge planning.
