The skill is the instruction and the assessment of learning.
Model daily note — teaching & training
Discharge preparation. Skilled teaching of insulin-pen technique to the resident and daughter: return-demo 9/9 on the second attempt (dose, prime, angle, hold, rotation, disposal) after correction of the hold and rotation on the first. Verbal teach-back of the 15-15 hypoglycemia rule 100%. Licensed instruction required because incorrect technique risks erratic absorption and hypoglycemia; daily reinforcement to competence is a covered skilled service at SNF level. Written summary provided; will re-evaluate next session. Ties to the discharge-education goal.
