Meeka,15,has been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and must learn how to do her own finger stick blood sugar analysis as part of her treatment.She has been sullen and uncommunicative since receiving the diagnosis.How can the nurse best increase Meeka's motivation to learn?

A) Demonstrating the finger stick on the nurse
B) Offering to perform the procedure for Meeka each time it is scheduled
C) Teaching Meeka's family how to perform the procedure
D) Encouraging Meeka's participation each time the procedure is performed

Encouraging Meeka's participation each time the procedure is performed would be the best way to increase her motivation to learn. This allows her to take an active role in managing her diabetes and empowers her to take control of her health. By participating in the procedure herself, Meeka will also become more familiar and comfortable with the process over time. It is important for the nurse to provide guidance and support during each session to ensure proper technique and accuracy. Additionally, teaching Meeka's family how to perform the procedure can also be helpful in providing a support system for her. However, the key factor in increasing Meeka's motivation is encouraging her own participation and involvement. Demonstrating the finger stick on the nurse or offering to perform the procedure for Meeka each time would not give her the opportunity to learn and become independent in managing her diabetes.
