Teaching plan: Patient with diabetes
Patient Maria G. is a thirty-two-year-old Latina female recently diagnosed with type II diabetes. She is the single mother of a young boy, Luis, who has been flagged as being pre-diabetic. The teaching plan for Maria G. will educate her about the potential consequences of diabetes and empower her with knowledge so she can improve her diet and exercise habits, with the hope of minimizing the need to rely upon insulin injections to manage her condition.
The objectives of the teaching plan are as follows:
The patient will be able to understand and describe her specific types of diabetes.
The patient will be able to name and describe the specific type or types of diabetes medications she has been prescribed, how to take them, and how she intends to fit the dosage into her lifestyle.
The patient will be able to perform proper self-monitoring of blood glucose using a blood glucose meter and will be able to inject herself with the appropriate dose of insulin.
4. The patient will be able to explain why diet modifications are necessary for diabetics and the benefits of healthy exercise. She will be able to describe how she will be able to integrate such modifications into her current lifestyle (Diehl 2010)
Maria G. has type II diabetes, which is developed later in life in most instances, although modern medicine is seeing earlier and earlier cases of diabetes. The fact that she is Latina makes her especially high-risk. With type II diabetes, "the body does not produce enough insulin for proper function, or the...
Maria G. is approximately 20 pounds overweight. Depending upon the metabolism and genetic history of the patient, weight and dietary choices can have a more or less severe effect upon different patients. It has been determined that given the degree to which the disease has progressed, Maria G. should begin using insulin to control her blood sugar. Insulin is the most common medication used to treat diabetics. Maria G. needs to understand precisely what her particular type of diabetes is and why insulin is needed to treat it, as well as how to administer insulin to herself by injection.
Asking Maria to repeat what the nurse has said in her own words and describing the medication, its risks, and also the risks of not taking insulin when needed are important components of an effective teaching plan. Regarding the insulin injections, having Maria practice on an orange after watching the nurse demonstrate how to do so, watching the nurse perform injections on others, and finally under supervision performing the injections herself are all part of patient 'mastery' of the process. She should also know the type of insulin she has been prescribed (fast-acting, regular acting, or another kind) to understand how long it will take to be effective in stabilizing her blood sugar (All about diabetes, 2012, Medical News Today: Diabetes treatment --…

Teaching Besides nursing, teaching is perhaps one of the most noble and worthy professions a person might choose. Indeed, those who have a particular love for people and children tend to choose this profession. For this reason, a particular kind of love for a very specific demographic of children is necessary to be attracted to the special education classroom. Those who choose to enter this field of teaching will not only

(TCW, 1) Prevention: Primary, Secondary, Tertiary (diet, exercise, immunizations, screenings) The Health Belief Model would contribute to a lesson in prevention of the condition's worsening severity. Here, the primary level of prevention is seen as dietary. The secondary level is seen as exercise and the tertiary level is viewed as immunizations and screenings.

Though the lesson plan cannot project what distribution of critical thinking and reasoning abilities will define the classroom, it will be appropriate to shape the lesson plan with the capacity for flexibility in its presentation.

Nursing Diagnosis Plan Assessment Analysis- Patient, CM., is a 60-year-old female African-American, married and a factory worker. CM is complaining about difficulty breathing, dyspnea. She indicates she is completely compliant with her medication regimen, naps and sleeps 7 hours a day. She is active, has a positive attitude, and regularly exercises.

In essence, the authors are forcing all nursing students and those who practice nursing today to understand that because of overblown "materialistic values, environmental sustainability, technology, clashes between societies" and global conflicts, the role of nurses has changed drastically, thus requiring some type of instruction on these and other topics (2005, pg. 153). In addition, the authors maintain that nursing students of today and in the near future must extend
Diabetic Teaching Plan Teaching Plan Teaching plan: Patients with diabetes Although all patients with type I diabetes manifest the same basic biology in terms of the manifestation of the illness, patients of different ages and genders will have different emotional, social, and environmental needs. This can be seen in a comparison of two patients, 'Sarah' and 'David.' Patient 1: 'Sarah' Sarah is a ten-year-old Caucasian daughter of a single mother. Sarah has been recently diagnosed
