Part 2: Additional Evidence (Narrative)
Justification of Evidence
The evidence presented in the concept map is relevant to the case study of a patient with renal failure related to DM. Acute renal failure interventions are proposed by the National Kidney Foundation (NKF), and they emphasize early detection and management of acute kidney injuries. This is particularly relevant to our case study, where the patient's renal failure is a direct consequence of poorly managed DM, a metabolic condition that affects glucose regulation and can lead to nephropathy (Genco & Borgnakke, 2020).
Hyperglycemia: Likewise, with respect to hyperglycemia, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) standards of medical care in diabetes offer recommendations for the diagnosis and management of patients with diabetes. Given that hyperglycemia is a glucose-related aspect of our case study, these guidelines are directly relevant (Schwartz et al., 2023). The evidence used is the best available because it is derived from academic, professional and regulatory guidelines that are based on research from experts in the field. These guidelines represent best practices and are regularly updated to reflect new research findings.
Interprofessional Strategies and Desired Outcomes
The interprofessional strategies most applicable to this case study include nephrologist consultation, endocrinologist consultation, dietician collaboration, and social worker involvement. Due to...…resource limitations, and patient adherence. That is why it is important to make sure that all professionals are on the same page, as this meeting of the minds can be a big challenge at times. However, it can be addressed by hosting regular team meetings using Zoom if necessary. Plus, not all patients may have access to a full team of specialists. Thus, telehealth and consultations can be potential solutions. As for patient adherence, it is important to recognize that managing multiple conditions can be overwhelming for patients. Therefore, the patient should be provided education, support groups, and regular follow-ups to help…

Renal Failure Main Functions of the Kidneys The kidneys are bean-shaped organs, 12 centimeters long, which lie at the sides of the spinal column behind the abdominal cavity (Merck 2010). Their main function is to maintain the proper balance of water and minerals in the body. Their other major functions include filtration and elimination of wastes and toxins, regulation of blood pressure and secretion of some hormones. The amount of water taken
Renal failure, or commonly referred to as kidney failure, is a condition in which the kidneys do not sufficiently filter out the toxins and waste products that are transported in the body's blood stream. There are two basic forms of renal failure. The first is when there is an acute injury prevents the kidneys from functioning properly. The next is a more serious condition in which the kidneys are chronically
These clinics will have to be set up over a number of years as funding becomes available for each. It is envisioned that the combination of clinics and learning programs will help the community to achieve better overall health. Indeed, clinics that focus on the specific health issues faced by the Hispanic community will remove some of the burden from general-purpose clinics and hospitals. Conclusion In conclusion, it is projected that
Acute renal failure is a serious medical condition. The gravity of the condition is manifested itself in the fact that the survival rate for renal failure has not improved for more than forty years. It occurs in 5% of all hospitalized patients and dialysis treatment is required in approximately .5 of cases. Dialysis is required to sustain "fluid and electrolyte balances, minimize nitrogenous waste production and sustain nutrition Infection accounts
Physicians, however, prefer hemodialysis because of reimbursement trends (Wellbery). Dietary Changes - Many patients also prefer peritoneal dialysis to hemodialysis because the latter restricts the diet (NKUDICC 2000). Peritoneal dialysis removes body wastes slowly but it always does. In hemodialysis, on the other hand, wastes can build up for two or three days between treatments. In addition, a patient on hemodialysis must observe a restrictive diet. Some clinics help plan
