/in /by

Case Study, Chapter 51, Assessment and Management of Patients With Diabetes

1.Sallie Smith, 42 years of age, is newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. During the patient education, the patient asks the nurse, “What should I do if I am sick and can’t eat; should I still take my medicine for the diabetes?” (Learning Objective 10)

1.What management strategies should the nurse provide the patient to deal with “sick days?”

2.Jerry Thomas is a 26-year-old type 1 diabetic. He was originally diagnosed at the age of 14, and currently manages his disease with an intensive regimen of insulin injections. Jerry is employed as a schoolteacher and soccer coach. He presents today with a 2-day history of vomiting and diarrhea. He has been closely monitoring his blood glucoses, and is using regular insulin for high blood glucose levels. He has only been able to tolerate liquids such as Gatorade, but today he is unable to even tolerate that, and comes to the clinic for evaluation of possible diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). (Learning Objective 9)

1.Describe the pathophysiology of DKA and why it occurs in patients with type 1 diabetes.

2.Based on the diagnosis of DKA, what assessment findings does the nurse correlate to this disorder?

The physician orders a complete metabolic panel, and Jerry’s blood glucose is 425. Other lab values include a serum sodium of 152, serum potassium of 3.0, and BUN of 64. What is your assessment of these results?

1.Explain why it is important for Jerry to continue to take his insulin even though his oral intake is decreased.

Answer each question and post your reflection to the discussion board IN 250 WORDS.

DEVELOPING SELF AWARENESS

We find ourselves in situations where we feel something is right or wrong in an instant. Perhaps you’ve seen a colleague  treated unfairly and you feel the situation is completely unjust or maybe you’ve been asked to complete a project at work and you immediately know the best course of action .At one point or other we all feel that we just know something to be true .Despite not having all the facts about the situation, this feeling of truth ,knowing the right way to do something is based on beliefs, your beliefs or your trust ,faith or confidence in someone or something .They have an acceptance that something is true .Your beliefs are so strong ,that often cause you to react to situations quickly almost like a reflex .What’s surprising is we don’t always know how to identify our beliefs and we don’t always take the time to dig below the surface and find out what’s going on .

Why is it so important we understand our beliefs?

Because the first step in building your self-awareness is understanding and identifying your beliefs. Enhancing yourself awareness will enable you to make accurate self-assessments ,manage your emotions and understand how you come across to others .

What’s building your self-confidence?

your beliefs will impact how you behave and interact with others. your beliefs also direct your emotions. if you believe somethings to be right or wrong that will cause an emotional response for you .if you want to build your self-awareness you need to make a conscious effort so identify and understand the strong beliefs that you have .you can do this by reflecting and using the ABC model which is a simple coaching psychology tool that I use with clients .I’d like you to think of a time when you had a negative experience lately.

ABC MODEL

A=Activating factors

Firstly, what was the activating event? the situation that you found yourself in that lead to you reacting negatively.

write down as much as you can about the event but trying to be objective with no emotional attachment to the scenario or people involved. If the activating event was someone putting out in front of you in the car on the way to work this would be what she would note here .at this stage don’t tell him to how you feel about the event or how you reacted .

B= Belief

next, identify your beliefs what did he believes to be true about the situation .in this example. you’ll believe maybe the other persons behavior is inconsiderate, dangerous and wrong .you may have even stronger believes .I think the person driving the other car is an idiot or shouldn’t be an out to drive a vehicle.

C= Consequences

finally what were the consequences of your beliefs .what happens in the situation because of your beliefs how did you behave what was the impact of your behavior and example of the driver ,maybe you fell anger start to rise and you couldn’t stop thinking about the injustice of the situation .I hope you found yourself in a bad mood after the event snapping at colleague or ranting about your experience which affected your productivity at work .

this exercise has two purposes, firstly you’ll delve into identifying key beliefs. secondly you can clearly see the effects of your beliefs and not the activating event have on your behavior. It’s often not the event itself react well that the beliefs we have about the situation complete this exercise reflecting on a positive event also as this will help you identify positive and negative beliefs .

when you find yourself in changing situation take some time to complete this task after the event reflected in openings and the impact, they had on the situation is your self-awareness over the long term

prevent the spread of COVID-19 among nurses

prevent the spread of COVID-19 among nurses

My evidence-based project is based on determining the knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding using personal protective equipment (PPE) among nurses to prevent the spread of COVID-19 among nurses working at the accident and emergency department. To evaluate the outcomes of the EBP, collection of both dependent and independent variables is essential (Engels et al., 2020). one of the dependent variables that I would collect in the evidence-based projects is the health outcomes of nurses who correctly and consistently correctly and consistently use personal protective equipment. The variable is significant because it is determined by the correct use of personal equipment in the hospital care setting.

The health outcome includes the number of health care professional nurses working at accident and emergency departments who contract COVID-19 due to not using or incorrect use of personal protective equipment. The empirical evidence indicates that the number of nurses working in the out-patient department who contract the COVID -19 increases with the incorrect use of protective equipment such as face masks (Liu et al., 2020). With more health workers becoming infected, there is a decreased health workforce, resulting in pressure on the health care system. Evaluating the prevalence and incidence of the diverse outcomes among nurses would help assess the implementation success of change in the hospital.

According to Reggiani & Schiaffino (2020), the independent variable needed to evaluate an evidence-based project is the correct use of personal protective equipment within the healthcare setting. PPE among nurses determines the prevalence of COVID-19 and the resulting health complications. Uptake of correct and consistent use of PPEs also entails applying knowledge with attitude change and practice among the nursing staff in the healthcare setting. Correct use of PPE while in practice helps determine the COVID-19 cases among the healthcare professionals.

Based on how you will evaluate your EBP project, which independent and dependent variables do you need to collect? Why?

Using 200-300 words APA format with at least two references. Sources must be published within the last 5 years. There should be a mix between research and your reflections. Add critical thinking in the posts along with research. Apply the material in a substantial way
