a Discharge Plan for a 3-year-old male child newly diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus Type 1. Use the acronym METHODS (medication, exercise(activity /environment, treatment, health education, out-patient follow-up, diets, social/spiritual). His home medication is Regular Insulin 3 units SC TID 30 minutes before meals. The doctor also ordered monitoring of blood glucose TID before an insulin injection. The doctor advised them to return for a follow-up checkup after 2 weeks with the CBG monitoring log, and as needed. The parents are anxious about their child's condition and worried that they might not be able to take care of him. The mother asks for instruction on how to administer the insulin as this is the first time that they will do this. The mother verbalized concern that his child might need diet and activity restrictions. They have heard the word "hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia" from an adult neighbor and asks you if their child would also experience those episodes. The patient also has a wound on his left knee because of a fall while playing. As the nurse-in-charge, what should you include in the discharge planning? Make a list of the things you need to instruct the parents and how they should be done.
