Answer 1

Pathophysiology The patient follows a medication for diabetes and high blood pressure. Significant research has proved that medication for diabetes can have severe side effects on the physical as well as emotional aspects of the patients. A side effect is considered as an unwanted issue in the body, which is bought by a potential medication. The patient exhibits significant side effects in the form of weight loss, lower self-esteem, and fatigue. The diabetes medicines usually trigger and increases insulin in the body which results in lower blood sugar level. The symptoms such as tiredness, fatigue, weight loss, and dizziness are often considered as the side effects of diabetes medicines such as biguanides, and metformin. A change in the dosage or shift of the medicines to another drug can be helpful for the patient.

Psychological/Emotional factors Lower motivation/Lower self-esteem: since the patient is very talkative, and social so a lower motivation and reduced self-esteem is an issue of consideration.

Influencing factors: Psychological factors: increased dizziness and lower motivation have reduced the self-esteem of the patient. He feels off as a result of significant psychological distractions bought by the medication. Physical factors: tiredness has made the patient more vulnerable to emotional distress and weight loss has contributed to greater health deterioration. Social factors: the patient is socially active, and inclusive, however depressive mood has disabled him to interact and socialize properly, ultimately disturbing his social life. Financial factors: since the patient is on medication for a decade, so it imposes a greater financial burden over him ultimately disturbing his physical, and psychological health.

Your biases in the scenario Since the patient is feeling off, so one of the bias could be to lift up the mood of the patient by increasing motivation and providing awareness about the medicines. The patient can be informed about a healthy diet for the issue of weight loss.
