The nurse completes an initial home assessment of an 82- year-old woman recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus. She lives at home with her 50-year-old daughter. The woman is able to function independently in all areas of activities of daily living. The most appropriate nursing action for insulin administration for this client is to:

1. Teach the daughter how to administer the insulin to her mother.

2. Instruct the client how to administer the insulin.

3. Recommend daily visits by a home health aide to give the insulin.

4. Ask the health care provider to change the order to an oral hypoglycemic medication.
