This document outlines the nursing care plan for a patient with unstable blood glucose levels related to type 2 diabetes mellitus. The plan includes short-term and long-term goals of care, nursing diagnoses, interventions, and rationales. The short-term goal is for the patient to maintain normal blood glucose levels after 8 hours. The long-term goal is for the patient to maintain normal glucose levels and increase knowledge on diabetes after 2 days. Interventions include monitoring vitals, bowel sounds, glucose levels, and providing education on diabetes management. The rationales explain how the interventions will help stabilize the patient's glucose and diabetes condition.
