The best way to evaluate the expected outcome is by asking the client to demonstrate their ability to self-administer the insulin injection. This will provide actual evidence that the client has learned the necessary steps and can perform the skill correctly. Verbal repetition, asking family members, or asking about the client's comfort level do not provide clear evidence of the client's ability to self-administer the injection.
