Read the first 7 Psychosocial Support & Care Coordination flashcards as text

  1. A patient with type 1 diabetes reports feeling 'burned out' and has stopped checking blood glucose regularly. Which intervention is most appropriate as a first step?

    Answer: Validate the patient's feelings and collaboratively explore barriers to self-care

    Diabetes distress requires empathetic validation and collaborative problem-solving before intensifying regimens or escalating referrals.

  2. Which validated screening tool is specifically designed to assess diabetes-related distress rather than general depression?

    Answer: Diabetes Distress Scale (DDS)

    The Diabetes Distress Scale (DDS) captures emotional burden specific to diabetes management that general depression screens may miss.

  3. A care coordinator is helping a patient with diabetes transition from hospital to home. Which element is MOST critical to include in the transition plan?

    Answer: Scheduling a follow-up appointment within 7–14 days

    A timely post-discharge follow-up within 1–2 weeks is strongly associated with reduced readmission rates in patients with diabetes.

  4. Which of the following best describes 'self-management support' in the context of diabetes care coordination?

    Answer: Helping patients develop skills and confidence to manage their own health between visits

    Self-management support empowers patients to actively participate in their care by building skills, knowledge, and confidence.

  5. A patient with diabetes and low health literacy struggles to understand their discharge instructions. What is the most evidence-based approach?

    Answer: Use teach-back method with plain language and visual aids

    The teach-back method combined with plain language and visuals is the gold standard for confirming comprehension in patients with low health literacy.

  6. When coordinating care for an older adult with diabetes and mild cognitive impairment, which strategy is MOST important?

    Answer: Simplify the treatment regimen and involve a reliable caregiver

    Simplifying regimens and engaging a reliable caregiver reduces errors and improves safety in patients with cognitive impairment.

  7. A patient with type 2 diabetes discloses food insecurity during a routine visit. What is the most appropriate care coordination response?

    Answer: Screen formally and connect the patient to community food assistance resources

    Formal food insecurity screening followed by referral to community resources addresses a social determinant that directly impacts glycemic control.
