A client has been diagnosed with diabetes mellitus and must learn how to do his own finger stick blood sugar analysis as part of his treatment.
 
  The client says, I already know what you are attempting to teach because I looked everything up on the Internet.. The best action for the nurse to take is to: 1. Document that the client understands teaching.
   2. Give the client printed learning materials.
   3. Teach the client's support system how to perform the procedure.
   4. Require the client to perform a return demonstration.

4. Require the client to perform a return demonstration.

Rationale:
The nurse is responsible for documenting that the client can perform the skill that has been taught. Giving the client written directions or teaching the support person does not meet the requirement that the client will perform the skill. The nurse cannot document that the client understands teaching until a return demonstration by the client is correctly performed.
