Monitoring his blood sugar allow him to regulate the blood sugar, keeping him alive. | Introduce a Task Analysis. Followed by someone else making sure it is done correctly or redone if necessary. | Regulating his diet. Understanding how specific foods affect him. |

The BA has determined that John is seeking additional responsibility. | Self-monitoring | Ensuring at least in the beginning that all medication is still supervised until it is determined that John is capable of delivering the correct dosage. |

Health Maintenance – Regular and accurate blood sugar checks help prevent dangerous highs (hyperglycemia) and lows (hypoglycemia), both of which can cause serious medical emergencies if left unmanaged. Emergency Prevention – By detecting abnormal glucose levels early, John can take corrective action (medication, insulin, food adjustments) before symptoms escalate. | Task Analysis & Total Task Chaining Break blood sugar monitoring into small, clear steps (e.g., gather supplies, wash hands, prepare test strip, lance finger, read meter, record results, clean up). Since John already shows interest and may have some familiarity, total task chaining can allow him to practice the whole routine each time with support as needed. | Recognizing and Responding to Emergencies Identifying early signs of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. Knowing the immediate corrective actions (e.g., taking glucose tablets, drinking water, calling for help). Knowing when and how to seek emergency medical assistance. |

management of medical needs | video modeling and a task analysis approach could be supportive in teaching him how to monitor. | Whether or not John needs to also to learn how to monitor his need for medication might also be something to consider |
John’s wellbeing and survival spends on his diabetes being controlled. Independence with care management will allow John to succeed whether he is alone or with others. | Consider how Nohn has learned best in the past. What are the safest ways to check for blood sugar (i.e. no pricking required)? Does John know how to respond if his blood sugar is too low? As he has shown interest already, perhaps video training would be beneficial. | |

Self-care skill acquisition decreases risk of high/low blood sugar in client. | video modeling | knowledge of what safe blood sugar values are |
The client needs to know his blood sugar in order to know if he needs medication or not. | Find out what baseline skills the client has to perform this skill. Then create a task analysis based on those skills- forward training if he doesn't know most of the steps. Start by teaching using video modeling and examples on other items, then begin working on himself with guidance. | Taking his medication since that seems to go with checking his blood sugar. |
El manejo adecuado del nivel de azúcar en sangre es fundamental para la seguridad física de John, ya que un control inadecuado de la diabetes puede llevar a complicaciones graves como hipoglucemia, hiperglucemia, daño a órganos, pérdida de conciencia o incluso emergencias médicas potencialmente mortales. La capacidad de supervisar y responder a cambios en sus niveles de glucosa contribuye directamente a su bienestar y autonomía. | Enseñanza gradual con apoyos visuales y prácticos: Descomponer el proceso de medición de glucosa y administración de insulina (si aplica) en pasos simples. Uso de apoyos visuales o recordatorios: Por ejemplo, pictogramas, aplicaciones de recordatorio o alarmas. Práctica supervisada: Inicialmente, practicar bajo supervisión del personal de apoyo hasta que John demuestre consistencia y precisión. Refuerzo positivo: Reconocer y reforzar cada paso completado correctamente para aumentar la motivación y adherencia. | Comprender los signos y síntomas de hipo e hiperglucemia y saber qué hacer en cada caso. Planificar la dieta y la actividad física de forma segura en relación con la diabetes. Llevar un registro de niveles de glucosa y factores relacionados (comidas, ejercicio, medicación). Desarrollar habilidades para comunicar cambios o preocupaciones sobre su salud al equipo de tratamiento o a un profesional médico. Mantener y almacenar de forma segura los suministros médicos (tiras, lancetas, insulina, etc.). |
Without proper monitoring it is a serious health risk. | Chaining, backward chaining | Nutrition/diet & excersise |
Being able to monitor bloodsugar will promote safety so that he knows if his levels remain stable | Video modeling and chaining | What to do if levels become too high or low |
The ability to self-monitor blood sugar can be life-saving in an emergency. | BST | Teaching an understanding of what to do in response to the blood sugar measurement. |

Self Monitoring gives independence and decrease relying on others. | Task analysis-backward or whole pending on skill baseline. | treat healthy foods to maintain balanced blood sugar levels. And exercise. |

We need to ensure John knows when his blood sugar is too high or too low. We also need to make sure that John can check his blood sugar safely. | Show John a diagram of where his blood sugar should be and what signifies high or low. Create a task analysis for how to check his blood sugar. | If he can check his blood sugar, we may want to see if he can monitor his health in other ways. |
