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

  1. A patient with type 2 diabetes has poorly controlled A1C despite reporting adherence. During the visit, you learn they work night shifts. Which psychosocial and practical factor should be addressed first?

    Answer: Explore how shift work affects sleep, meals, and medication timing

    Shift work disrupts circadian rhythms, eating patterns, and medication schedules, all of which can significantly impair glycemic control.

  2. When a patient with diabetes and depression is being comanaged, which outcome should the diabetes care specialist monitor in addition to glycemic parameters?

    Answer: Depression symptom scores and medication adherence

    Depression significantly impairs self-management, so monitoring symptom scores and adherence is essential to integrated diabetes-depression comanagement.

  3. In a patient with diabetes who is experiencing grief after a recent loss, the most appropriate psychosocial approach is to:

    Answer: Acknowledge the loss, offer support, and adjust short-term self-management goals accordingly

    Acute grief can temporarily impair self-management capacity; acknowledging emotional needs and adjusting goals compassionately supports continued engagement.

  4. The AADE7 Self-Care Behaviors framework includes which of the following psychosocial domain?

    Answer: Healthy coping

    Healthy coping is one of the seven AADE7 Self-Care Behaviors, recognizing that psychological well-being is integral to effective diabetes self-management.

  5. A patient declines referral to a mental health professional despite signs of significant diabetes distress. The most appropriate next step is to:

    Answer: Respect the decision while continuing to offer support and revisit at future visits

    Respecting patient autonomy while keeping the door open for future referral maintains the therapeutic alliance and allows for reconsideration over time.

  6. Which of the following factors is MOST associated with poor glycemic outcomes in adolescents with type 1 diabetes?

    Answer: Family conflict and lack of parental involvement in diabetes management

    Family conflict and decreased parental involvement are strongly linked to poorer glycemic control and adherence in adolescents with type 1 diabetes.

  7. A community health worker (CHW) is part of the diabetes care team. Their primary role is to:

    Answer: Bridge cultural and logistical gaps between patients and the healthcare system

    CHWs serve as trusted liaisons who connect patients to resources, address social barriers, and reinforce care team guidance in community settings.
