A nurse is providing discharge strategies.
Which of the following actions ensures client safety during the discharge process?

Choice A rationale
Secondary prevention involves early detection and treatment of disease to prevent progression. Demonstrating how to administer insulin is not an example of secondary prevention.
Choice B rationale
Disease prevention is a broad term that encompasses all levels of prevention. It is not specific enough to describe the nurse’s action in this scenario.
Choice C rationale
Tertiary prevention involves managing and improving the quality of life for individuals with chronic diseases. Demonstrating how to administer insulin to a diabetic patient is an example of tertiary prevention, as it helps the patient manage their condition and prevent complications.
Choice D rationale
Primary prevention involves preventing the onset of disease through measures such as vaccination and health education. Administering insulin to a diabetic patient is not an example of primary prevention.

Choice A rationale
Recognizing cultural preferences is important, but it does not demonstrate the use of the Self- Care Model. The Self-Care Model focuses on promoting autonomy and self-care.
Choice B rationale
Performing all tasks independently does not align with the Self-Care Model, which emphasizes promoting the client’s ability to care for themselves.
Choice C rationale
Calculating intake and output accurately is important, but it does not demonstrate the use of the Self-Care Model. The Self-Care Model focuses on promoting autonomy and self-care.
Choice D rationale
Encouraging autonomy by allowing the client to feed themselves is the correct answer. This action aligns with the Self-Care Model, which emphasizes promoting the client’s ability to care for themselves.
