Ace the CDCES Challenge 2026 – Master Diabetes Care and Education with Confidence!

The choice involving printed material from the manufacturer regarding medication side effects is least appropriate for educating a patient on diabetes management because it typically does not engage the patient actively in the learning process. While printed materials can provide valuable information, they often lack personalization and interactive elements essential for effective learning.

Active learning methods, such as group discussions, one-on-one hands-on training, and role-playing scenarios, allow for real-time engagement and feedback. These methods encourage patients to ask questions, share their thoughts, and practice skills in a supportive environment, promoting better retention and understanding of diabetes management strategies. Engaging methods also help in addressing specific patient concerns and adapting the education to individual needs.
