Which of the following statements best reflects the client’s positive feedback to the nurse’s ques-tion, “Do you understand how to check your blood sugar?”

1. Nodding affirmatively
2. “I test it 4 times a day.”
3. “Yes, I understand how to do it.”
4. Demonstrating a fingerstick to the nurse

ANSWER

ANS: 4
Feedback is the message the receiver returns. It indicates whether the receiver understood the meaning of the sender’s message. Demonstrating the technique is the best way to show the nurse an understanding of the process. The other options either nonverbally or verbally indicate under-standing; they are not as conclusive as showing understanding.
