A nurse is planning a community diabetes mellitus management program. Which of the following SMART goals should the nurse include for the client?

A. Assessment: Assessment involves collecting data about the client's condition. Noting the heart rate before administering medication is part of the assessment.
B. Analysis: Analysis involves interpreting the collected data to make decisions about the client's care. While the nurse is analyzing the data (the heart rate), this step follows the initial assessment.
C. Planning: Planning involves setting goals and deciding on interventions based on the assessment and analysis. Holding the medication could be considered part of planning but comes after assessing the heart rate.
D. Evaluation: Evaluation involves determining the effectiveness of interventions. This is not applicable in this situation.

A. The nurse encourages autonomy by allowing the client time to wash their face and upper chest with the left arm: The Self Care Model focuses on promoting independence and encouraging clients to do as much for themselves as possible. Allowing the client to perform tasks within their ability fosters autonomy and self-care.
B. The nurse performs range of motion exercises to the right arm: While beneficial, this does not directly promote the client's independence in self-care.
C. The nurse recognizes due to cultural preferences a female should provide the bed bath: This respects cultural preferences but does not relate directly to promoting self-care.
D. The nurse performs all the tasks: This does not encourage the client’s independence and is not aligned with the Self Care Model.
