After teaching, a client shows how to use a glucometer but forgets one required step. Which action by the nurse is best?

  1. Record the outcome as met because the client attempted the skill
  2. Discharge the client without further teaching
  3. Record the outcome as partially met and reinforce the skill at the next opportunity
  4. Remove the skill from the teaching plan
Show answer

Correct answer: Record the outcome as partially met and reinforce the skill at the next opportunity

A partially met goal means the plan is modified and the teaching reinforced, and the result is documented.
