While rounding on your patient, her neighbors, a younger couple, state that they know she is a diabetic and is not eating correctly. The neighbors, who often take Mrs. Green to the grocery store, state that she buys ice cream and cookies and rarely fixes “proper meals.” They are concerned about her and want the nurse practitioner to notify her family. Upon examination, Mrs. Green is alert, oriented, well groomed, and appropriate. Her glucose is 200 and she is in no distress. She states, “I like ice cream, I’m old, and I deserve it.” How should you respond?

Rationale: As future providers, one wants to follow the evidenced-based practice that is accepted by regulatory authorities. The authorities and peer-reviewed journals have the input of many professionals and not just one provider’s opinion. As a provider, you want your care substantiated with best practices and published treatment plans and protocols to withstand your defense with other providers and a lawsuit.

Examples of these authorities include, but not limited to:

ACOG, AADE, ADA, American College of Surgeons, etc.
