Correct answer: C. Supportive-educative system
- A. Wholly compensatory system
- B. Partly compensatory system

Explanation
The supportive-educative system is appropriate when the patient can carry out self-care but needs teaching, guidance or support. The nurse should teach injection technique and storage rather than take over all insulin administration.
