Preserving Personhood : An Analysis Of Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

To overcome this obstacle, nurses should be persuaded to understand how important it is to ensure that diabetics are safe and receive consistent diabetes management wherever they are. There is a nursing shortage in all areas of healthcare and especially in most school systems, nurses are not always present, and diabetes is becoming more prevalent, so having other personnel who can be trained to deliver routine care and emergency care can ensure that someone knowledgeable is always present. Wood (2013) reported that with the shortage of nurses, diabetic students are not getting appropriate care throughout the day and families are facing hardship trying to ensure that timely and appropriate care is being

Diabetes is a serious medical condition that can also be a risk factor for the development of many different diseases and conditions including dementia, heart disease, and CVA. Thus, effective management of diabetes is very important. Patient compliance can be difficult to achieve if the person affected with diabetes is not educated about the illness or treatment, has not fully accepted the diagnosis or its severity, will not change habits or believes that the prescribed treatment regime is too difficult or ineffective, has cultural beliefs conflicting with the treatment regime, experiences stressful events, lacks social support, or suffers from psychiatric issues unrelated to diabetes (Gerard, Griffin, & Fitzpatrick, 2010). As one may expect, adequate education programs are essential tools when dealing with diabetics. Solid education will provide the patient with information as well as teaching the necessary skills to manage the disorder. The primary focus of any diabetes education program must be to empower patients as a part of the multidisciplinary team. This team should be focused at integrating diabetes into the lives of the patients and this focus should be based on the decisions made by the patient, otherwise the treatment plan can be looked on as forced (Gerald et al., 2010). Every patient stricken with diabetes has the right to benefit from an education program of this type. First, basic education and facts should be administered directly following the diagnosis of

Individuals that have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes are cared for by a variety of people like podiatrist, district nurses, DSNs, GPs, and practice nurses. Good communication between these professionals and the person with type 2 diabetes can lead to better insight into the individual’s life, therefore helping to plan and provide the best care for that person. This can reduce repetition, improve quality of care for people with diabetes type 2 and

As stated above, diabetes is a very complex disease affecting millions of people in the world. Due to this, the nursing profession

Dominique presented on Population Health Management and Standardized Care in Type 2 Diabetes. The meeting was held November 1st at 3:00-4:00pm in the Corporate Auditorium at Centura Health Corporate Building. The concentration of her presentation was based on Figure 2 and Figure 2 maps. Figure 1 represents the increase shade of blue proportional to the increase of percentage being told they had diabetes (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,

Diabetes is a chronic illness that requires continuous medical care and patient self-management education to prevent acute complications and to reduce the risk of long-term complications[ ].

Retrieved from http://www.ebrary.com The purpose for this source is teach diabetics how to prevent acute and long term complications and to improve quality of life and avoid premature diabetes associated with death. In this source the topic of how to live with diabetes, the advance of health information on diabetes and Medicine and self-management of diabetes. Successful diabetes management relies on successful patient engagement as well as medical treatment, and regular assessment of education needs is as important as medical care. I found this information in the online library.

The entire concept of diabetes is about living on the edge of trouble. While Type 1 Diabetes is a biological condition associated with a fundamental flaw in the way one's body produces or reacts to insulin a substance that controls and monitors sugar in the blood and cells Type 2 Diabetes is a social and cultural condition. Those most likely groups of people to have to live with it are persons of non-white nationalities (increasingly Hispanics and Asians) who live at or below the US poverty level and/or who have not achieved a very high level of educational advancement (California Department of Public Health, 2010). And in places like San Diego County, California, this puts a major number of people, young and old, quite literally on the border of health and wellness disasters.

Unfortunately, due to the unprecedented increase in diabetic diagnoses, there are simply not enough doctors available. Educators, therefore, are and will continue to be needed to assist in this shortfall. They will teach new patients how to manage their diabetes, and assists and educate “older” patients in new, exciting technologies.

After reflecting on my own nursing practice, I decided to search the literature on the need for better education associated with DMI. Certain ethnic and cultural groups have an increased risk for DMI and educating those at risk is a key component in the management process. If nurses use more individualized teaching processes and meet their patients’ teaching needs, then their patients will feel more comfortable in taking care of themselves at home and in schools. By reviewing the literature on the need for enhanced diabetes

My teaching on primary prevention of type II diabetes adheres to HP2020 objectives D-1 to D-16 on diabetes, specifically objective D-1 that deals with reducing the annual number of new cases of diagnosed diabetes in the population. (Target is a 10% improvement from the baseline of 8.0 new cases of diabetes per 1,000 population aged 18 to 84 years occurred in the past 12 months to the target of 7.2 new cases per 1,000 population aged 18 to 84 years). Education on the preventive measures needed to be taken by an at-risk population tackles this issue of reducing the annual number of cases.

The workshop for the Doctor of Nursing Practice project was presented on December 11, 2015, at 9:00 am in a long-term care facility in the southern region in the United States. The participants included; a registered nurse (RN), three licensed practical nurses (LPN’s) and an LPN, attending a BSN nursing program. The RN asked to participate in the workshop, and the author believes it was appropriate since she provides patient care. Statistics show numbers and may tell a story, and some of the participants’ comments may validate or support what they had to say. Therefore, the author is going to share some of the participants’ comments. For example, the nursing student plans to laminate the Diabetes Self-Management and Education Assessment Diabetes

Diabetes is associated with wide range of complications such as chronic renal failure, blindness, amputations, heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, and neuropathy (Alotabi, A., et al., 2016). There is no known cure for diabetes, but the disease can be controlled through health management that includes multiple perspectives of care such as medications, blood glucose monitoring, diet, nutrition, screening for long-term complications and regular physical activity (Alotabi, A., et al., 2016). Managing diabetes may be complicated and requires the knowledge and skills of both healthcare providers and the clients. Studies have shown that to prevent or delay diabetic complications due to diabetes, counseling and other lifestyle interventions are the effective therapy. Even with many policies set up for diabetes, 8.1 million Americans are undiagnosed with diabetes mellitus, and approximately 86 million Americans ages 20 and older have blood glucose levels that considerably increase their risk of developing Diabetes Mellitus in the next several years (CDC, 2015). For diabetes care to be successful there needs to be a good understanding of the disease and management by both patients and healthcare providers,

Elke and colleagues said one of the limitations is that there was no way of actually measuring the actions of each care giver; there was no way of detaching each activity, because all the activities are interdependent (Elke E.A. Arts, 2011). The research was not specific enough. There is no way of actually proving what kind of care each care giver provided (Elke E.A. Arts, 2011). The second limitation of this study is that the participants in the study were patients with complex cases of diabetes mellitus type 1 and 2 from a hospital based setting, so this limits the general validity of the study. The results of this study cannot be applied to simpler cases in a primary care setting. One of the strengths of this study is that Elke and collegues ensured that there were good inclusion criteria. The inclusion criteria ensured that a homogenous sample was collected so this will prevent erroneous results. The second strength of the study was that it was able to effectively show that diabetes nurse specialist can provide care similar to the care provided by physicians to patients with diabetes mellitus type 1 and type 2.This article is important because the number of people with diabetes mellitus will be 336 million in the next twenty years (Elke E.A. Arts, 2011). These people will need health care. The results of this article show diabetes nurse specialists provide similar care to the care provided by physicians in a hospital- based

Before you begin your teaching plan be sure to define the characteristics of the clinical site and patient population. The teaching plan should be customized to this population. This is a sample teaching plan that you can use and customize to your needs. You may want to design a pre-test and post-test to give your patients would are attending the teaching program.
