The Pathophysiology And Etiology Of Dm 2

The goal is to increase the percentage of understanding of diabetes and how to live empowered with diabetes. I will conduct outreach programs in various methods to reach the people to participate in the health program. My objective is done by specific, measurable, achievable, results-focused, and time-bound (SMART) goals. By May 31, 2018, an increase of 40% establishes one-on-one follow up education session with each individual and families through home visits or phone calls to monitor them to improve their lifestyles. By February 30, 2018, an increase of 80% distribution of brochures and with door to door interactions with the individuals in the community. By September 2018, increase 90% of people to engage in community health fair, classes, and exercise activities on diabetes and cardiovascular classes. This will introduce the individuals in social support that allow interactions with teaching and

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

Diabetes has become an epidemic in today’s society. Diabetes affects almost every system in the body, and with an estimated 346 million people in the world with diabetes, healthcare has been heavily affected by the disease (Ramasamy, Shrivastava, P., & Shrivastava, S., 2013). One of the biggest issues for healthcare workers when it comes to diabetes, is that it is such a complicated disease. With so many different systems being affected, medical professionals have had to learn how the disease process works, what causes diabetes to work through the systems, and the best treatments to address all these issues. Through much research, the healthcare system has grown very knowledgeable on diabetes. One important aspect of treating diabetes has been in the introduction of diabetic education. In the past, nurses and dieticians had been responsible for educating patients on diabetes, but now that role is also extended to other people in the healthcare team, including the patient (Tomky, 2013). In fact, patients taking an active role in the education process, including learning to self-care has now become a priority in diabetes treatment. The following paper will discuss diabetic education, the importance of self-care and how this affects a patient’s compliance.

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.

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.

Our patient is Eva Ybarra. She is a 40 year old married, Spanish speaking woman. Her husband and she are overweight.

With the increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes, the importance of teaching patients newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes how to manage their disease while maintaining their personhood is vital. Personhood is defined simply as “the quality or condition of being an individual person” (OED Online, 2016). While the definition may be simple, the idea it encompasses is significant, and is one nurses need to consider. Protecting a patient’s individuality while treating within a standard care model can be challenging. Failing to do so can result in patient non-compliance with their diabetes management, and increase their likelihood of cardiac, vascular, and neurological diseases (Lahiri, 2016, p. 116, Phillips, 2016, pp. 536-537). Individualizing patient teaching, assessing and encouraging healthy eating and exercise habits, and identifying and remediating factors which decrease a patient’s medication compliance, can assist in helping patients stay compliant with their treatment while preserving their personhood.

The review of literature section will define diabetes and prediabetes, identify the prevalence and major risk factors for diabetes, and present behavioral changes that can reduced the risk of developing diabetes. This section discusses the types of presentations and teaching methods that have been utilized in diabetes prevention and the health belief model. The final paragraphs in the review of literature present the learning theory and delivery method of instructional designs, which are ideal for a diabetes prevention program.

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,

Learning objectives were focused to improve the nurses’ ability to provide diabetes self-management education and focused on the pathophysiology of diabetes, treatment and strategies to engage patients and use of educational material to perform

B. (Barton, 2015). He is a 59 year old male, with a family history of Diabetes Mellitus II (DM II) and he has currently had no other medical conditions. Mr. B. has a history of not maintaining a healthy diet, being slightly overweight, but maintains a somewhat active lifestyle. His main staples, included white rice, potatoes, anything fried, extra-large helpings, bread and any type of southern food. Three years ago he went in for a physical and this was when he was diagnosed with DM II. He was placed on glipizide, encouraged to go on a diet and begin an exercise routine. He just went in for a yearly physical and his DMII is still not in control. He has done everything his physician suggested, lost 60 pounds and joined a gym, where he walks at least three miles a day. He has now been sent to an endocrinologist. His main concern was that he did not want to be placed on insulin. Mr. B. needs a health care plan with SMART goals included. This plan will include a rationale for each of the desired outcomes of the goals. Mr. B. needs to build a support system that benefits his physical, mental, social, emotional and spiritual needs. This will help to make better decisions related to diabetes and making it easier for him to improve his coping skills and care of himself. Mr. B.’s smart goal for his knowledge deficit would be to get more education on his disease and how it

In the article “Translating What Works: A New Approach to Improve Diabetes Management,” it is suggested that the most effective strategies to increase diabetes control include individual case management, health care teams, patient education and the reporting important medical information to the patients primary care physician(Phillips). An intervention aimed at being patient centered to increase the quality of care for diabetics, was implemented in Miami, where seven health care centers participated. They had a care management team that made pre-visit phone calls to diabetic patients who had an upcoming appointment. The purpose and goal of these phone calls was to increase patient knowledge and self-management goals. They also recorded important
