    The nurse is developing a plan of care for an older male client with type 2 diabetes who reports blurred vision. Which outcome should the nurse include in the plan of care for this client?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. The client will express acceptance of his changing health status: Emotional acceptance is important but is not a specific, measurable outcome directly related to managing complications like blurred vision in a client with diabetes. B. The client's family will state signs and symptoms about the disease: Educating the family is beneficial, but the priority outcome should focus on the client's personal health goals and clinical measures to protect vision and prevent further complications. C. The client's daily blood pressure will be less than 140/80 mm Hg this month: Tight blood pressure control is essential in preventing or slowing the progression of diabetic retinopathy and other microvascular complications that can lead to vision loss. D. The nurse will demonstrate the procedure for accurate eye care: While the nurse's demonstration is important for teaching, the plan of care should focus on client-centered outcomes, not on the nurse’s actions.
