The best resource for information about the patient’s care is the patient himself unless he is unable to provide information. In that case the spouse, parent, child or other caregiver would be the best resource person. Other resource persons are the patient’s PCP, nutritionist, diabetes educator and endocrinologist.
– Mary Lavinia Yancey
If there is a diabetic educator nurse, I will find out what they are teaching so we can present the same information. Are they teaching the patient to count carbs, practice portion control, or deal with a low blood sugar reading? The person teaching patients how to handle things at home should guide what we teach when people with diabetes are in the hospital.
– Mary Hammock
The patient should be your first choice, and then I ask, ‘Who is the cook?– Dorothy L. Martin Sometimes the spouse or a close next of kin is the best resource. The patient often will try to avoid embarrassment and tell you what they think you want to hear, while the spouse or next of kin cares about the patient’s well-being and tells the truth.– Cathy Anderson
