Professor and Classmates
Caring for a patient who refuses to comply with instructions can be frustrating even in emergency care,
but our strategies for improving compliance among diabetic patients can help keep patients healthy.
According to George and Thomas (2010, p. 1098), “each participant described how they managed
diabetes, knowing that their self-management regimen was not considered appropriate according the
instructions of their healthcare providers.” The participants believed they were self-managing their
diabetes from their own viewpoint. Nurses have a vital role in the initial management of diabetes.
Nurses have the capabilities to help patients improve adherence and become self-managing. The study
suggest that healthcare professionals need to listen more carefully to the patient (George & Thomas,
p.1098). When talking with patients, ask about their lifestyle and concerns about treatment. The
misalignment of patient expectations and clinical protocols highlights a common dilemma in clinical
practice and raises questions about the best ways to balance the needs of individuals with the needs of a
health system. To empower them and help them overcome their fears, nurses should provide targeted
information. Again, I’m always grateful that I work at a facility that has a multidisciplinary approach to
patient care. When a patient arrives to the ED with hyperglycemia symptoms and they are newly
diagnosed we immediately contact our diabetes education nurse to set up a next day appointment with
the patient. Pharmacist and pharmacy students are available in the ED around the clock. They are
another valuable resource to our department because they are available to give insulin education to
patients right then and there. A clearly defined diabetes-education model with policies and protocols
helps ensure nurses are familiar with and can easily reference the important steps necessary to
empower patients to self-manage their diabetes.
