A group of nurses conducted a community-based diabetes self-management program. The program includes blood glucose self-monitoring and self-administering insulin injection.
Which of the following would be the BEST method the nurse would implement?
Correct : B
Diabetes Self-Management Education:
Effective education methods are essential to ensure patients understand and can manage their condition independently.
Educational Methods:
Audiovisual Method: Good for initial learning but not the best for confirming understanding.
Teach Back Method: The most effective method where the patient repeats back the information, ensuring they understand and can perform tasks correctly.
Focus Group and Group Discussion: Useful for sharing experiences but less effective for individual skill assessment.

A group of nurses conducting a systematic review to identify best practice evidence for hemodialysis in patient with anemia.
Which of the following should considered based on level of research evidence?
Correct : D
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are considered the highest level of evidence in research because they reduce bias and provide the most reliable results. When conducting a systematic review to identify best practice evidence for hemodialysis in patients with anemia, RCTs should be prioritized. These studies provide strong evidence on the efficacy of interventions. Case-control studies, non-experimental studies, and quasi-experimental studies provide valuable information but are considered lower levels of evidence compared to RCTs.
