Question

I'm stuck trying to think of a topic to submit. Here is the instructions. I was thinking about something related to diabetes. Present a topic to create a case study on a complex health problem of their choice and that could be used in a high-fidelity simulation lab. The class is Advanced Pathophysiology Health Assessment. Any suggestions.

Students will develop a case study that represents a complex health problem of their choice and that could be used in a high-fidelity simulation lab. Your topic should have been approved by your instructor in Week 2. Provide details in your case study related to the (1) modifiable and unmodifiable risk factors represented in your patient, (2) presenting signs and symptoms the patient displays, (3) psychosocial factors, (4) prescribed pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical interventions, and (5) laboratory and other diagnostic tests.

The case study should start with objectives for the simulation, stated as what the student will do or display and by when (see below). Thereafter, the patient should be presented, along with three questions you will ask your students about the case.

Answer 1

NURSING CARE PLAN ON DIABETES:::::::Objective of care plan::(1)To make the patient understand about the importance of diet to prevent diabetes (2) To tell patient to do exercise such as walking or jogging 3 days a week inorder to reduce blood sugar(3) To teache the patient how monitor blood sugar by himself (4) To give information about to consume medication according to doctors order (5)To give knowledge about the sign symptoms such as giddiness,lethargy of hypoglycemia (lowering blood sugar). MODIFiEBLE RISK FACTORS:: (1)overweight or obesity:::This will make high risk of diabetes.so the person should try to reduce the weight by 5 to 7% of body weight.(2)physical inactivity::the person who don't do any exercises has the risk of diabetes this can be controlled by doing moderate aerobic exercises at least 150 minutes per week or any muscle strengthening exercises at least 3 days a week.(3)Hypertension (high blood pressure) leads to the destruction of of cardiovascular symptoms.proper medication and diet should be followed to control over it (4)High lipid level(high bad cholesterol) can make the risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease.heaty diet,better physical activity and controlled weight can decrease the risk of this....PSYCHOSOCIAL FACTORS:::(1)Life style factors such as habit of taking alcohol,junk food,prolonged sitting job,inactive pyscical exercises,(2)clinical factors includes hypertension,obesity or overweight,cardiovascular disease,gestational diabetes,(3)heriditary factors (4)age,sex and race ::PHARMACEUTICAL INTERVENTION::(1)oral hypo glyceamic medications such as metformin and sulfonylureas(2)Insulin administration for uncontrollable diabetes::NURSING INTERVENTIONS::1)assess the knowledge of client about diabetes 2)assess vital signs and blood glucose level.3)administer medication according to the doctors order.4)teach the patient to recognize the symptoms of hyperglycemia (high sugar)and hypoglycemia low sugar).5)teach the patient to avoid alcohol,junk foods (6) tell the client about the importance of exercise 7)teach about personnel hygiene 8)advise the patient to follow the diet plan according to The dietician ordered 8)tell the patient to make follow up visit after discharge inorder to prevent complications ::INVESTIGATIONS::::1)fasting blood sugar 2)Random sugar 3)ppbs-post pra dual blood sugar(after 2 hrs of food intake.4)GTT-glucose tolerance test..5)HbA1c(glycosalated haemoglobin test) .....this the care plan for diabetes patient
