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
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…
