Introduction
For this case study I am going to discuss 3 health promotions, the 3 health promotions I will be discussing are; obesity, exercise and smoking. All 3 of these health promotions are from a patient whose care I was involved with for a number of weeks. I have gained full consent from the patient and their relatives. In relation to the Data Protection Act 1998 (Legislation.gov.uk, 1988) and the Human Rights Act 1998 (Legislation.gov.uk, 1998).
I have also gained full consent from the manager at this placement. To protect the patient’s confidentiality and their relatives I have changed their names in this case study. To also make this case study assignment easier to read and understand I have included subheadings for each section.

Main discussion
The 3 health promotions I have chosen are all things Rita has and is currently dealing with. Rita is an overweight obese 23stone woman who struggles to do any exercise and has no support, due to this Rita had told me she had taken up the habit of smoking many years ago has her own habit to make her feel better. The main current treatment for people who suffer with weight problems and being overweight is advice, this includes advice over dietary requirements and lifestyles changes. The NICE guidelines recommend drug therapy with orlistat should only be considered after exercise, behavioural approaches and dietary have all been evaluated (Pathways.nice.org.uk, 2016).
Due to Rita’s unhealthy many years of smoking, it has led to her having her left leg amputated off above the knee due to the blood vessels in her left leg swelling and stopping the blood supply travelling and forming clots. The swelling along with the blood clots caused Rita to have a serve pain and tissue damage (Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, 2016).
Due to Rita being unfit to go for a cigarette, while in hospital Rita was given nicotine replacement patches. Nicotine replacement therapy, helps a person control their cravings for a cigarette. They can come in different forms such as; nasal spray, tablets, skin patches, chewing gum and mouth spray. The NICE guidelines recommend that smokers should not just receive nicotine replacement

I presented Esteban’s case during case consultation because I noticed that I had countertransference when doing his intake. My expectation when presenting this case was to receive feedback that would help me to provide effective treatment to Esteban without my countertransference affecting his treatment. This section of the paper will talk about the feedback I received about my countertransference and how to support Esteban.
In this assignment I will be exploring the issues around communication and assessment in relation to the care given to the patient. I will look at how care was delivered and how successful it was. The NMC (2008) states that healthcare professionals must respect a person’s right to confidentiality; to ensure this I will be using pseudonyms for the service users mentioned in this assignment. I will be referring to the patient as ‘John’ and his wife as ‘Brenda’. I have gained consent from Brenda to talk about her husband’s situation in this assignment, as he did not have capacity to grant consent himself due to dementia.

According to the CMSA (Case Management Society of America) and several others organizations that case management alone means that it is a collective system that helps the patient and their family needs through the communication, available resources of promoted quality, and cost-effective outcomes.

With those occupational areas (from the OTPF) listed above, what are some intervention strategies/methods or strategies to help Mark. Name at least 5 strategies or provide a treatment plan outlined for Mark.
I would advise Shania that an LLC would be the best form of business to accomplish her goals. Shania wants to open a Christian coffeehouse and already has a name in mind. Colorado LLC laws allow LLCs to be formed with one or more members, taxes them at a lower rate like partnerships and sole proprietorships, and provides the members with lower liability that protects them from the company’s debt (Scrofano, n.d.). This form of business will give Shania the ability to name her company what she wants and run it how she wants. The limited liability is also desirable.
On September 3, 2015, I was assigned this case to follow up. This case involves Ms Miranda Maria Celia a seventeen year old runaway female. I contacted Maria Miranda (parent) who reported that they moved to Baltimore, but that her daughter was back. Ms. Miranda agreed to call me back on Spetember 4, 2015, while she obtains a permanent address. I received no futher calls back.
In the case study regarding Mr. and Mrs. G, there were many questionable areas of concern regarding ethical practices and obtainment of an informed consent. As the nurse researcher, the duty to advocate for the patient is of primary concern. The first concern recognized through this case study is that of vague description of the study. As the nurse researcher, I would need to be made aware of the data collection process and the parameters upon which the research is based. Obtainment of data to be used in research must maintain patient confidentiality. Did the researchers use patient medical records, family member interviews, patient interviews or staff involvement in patient selection? Were there any HIPPA violations in the selection process? Were the subjects informed that they were being screened for participation? I would also need to assess the preliminary review of literature that is driving this particular study. What is the appropriate time to conduct a study such as this? Is the purpose of this study going to facilitate a change in patient outcomes? Awareness of the motivation for this study and the benefit that is expected to the future

A case study is a specific instance that is frequently designed to illustrate a more general principle (Nisbet and Watt, 1984). Hitchock and Hughes (1995) further suggest that the case study approach is particularly valuable when the researcher has little control over evens. Case studies strives to portray ‘what it like’ to be a particular situation, to catch up reality and ‘thick description’ (Geertz, 1973) of participants’ lives experiences of, thoughts about and feelings for a situation. They involve looking at a case or phenomenon in its real-life context, usually employing many types of data (Robson, 2002). It is important in case studies for events and situations to be allowed to speak for themselves, rather than to be largely interpreted, evaluated or judged by the researcher. In this respect the case study is akin to the television documentary. Case studies can make theoretical statements, but, like other forms of research and human sciences, these must be supported by the evidence presented.

In reading the first article Coach Knight: The Will to Win, I found the article found Coach Knight to be very offensive and mean to his players. Coach Knight did not display good leadership skills. According to the article, Coach Knight’s drive and passion for excellence was not always received as well as his record of wins and losses Snook, Per low, Delacey, 2005).
