COPD Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Year-Old
I. Rationale To Justify Choice Of The Aspect Of Care
Shortness of breath is a almost universal symptom in cor pulmonale. Incidents of leg edema, atypical chest pain, dyspnea on exertion, exercise-produced peripheral cyanosis, prior respiratory failure, and extreme daytime somnolence are all chronological clues suggestive of the presence of cor pulmonale. Chest pain could be connected to right ventricular ischemia. Cough and complaints of uncomplicated fatigability are common (Ghosh, et al. 1998). A number of patients with nocturnal hypoventilation and sleep apnea may present with personality changes, mild systemic hypertension, and headache. Abdominal pain may be present if bowel edema results from venous hypertension (Engleman & Joffe, 1999).
Counseling Theory and the Christian Worldview
My counseling paradigm centers on a synthesis of the Bible by blending several elements of various counseling theories to optimize client outcomes. The model presented also focuses on the inherent nature and needs of man along with the critical psychological parameters in shaping his mental health function and/or dysfunction. After assessing these factors, the paper then provides a detailed approach to counseling intervention, combining several well-established counseling theories along with the Bible as a foundation for each approach. In summary, the counseling model presented within this paper centers on the critical role played by the client in shaping their own mental health. Via the integration of various counseling models along with Scripture, the client can optimize their outcome through proper guidance from the counseling therapist and a desire for God's wisdom, positive change and overall health.
