    Type 2 Diabetes Type 1 Research Paper

    Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disease that occurs when a body is unable to produce insulin, is unable to adequately use the insulin produced, or is unable to produce enough insulin for what the body needs, and therefore results in a body not being able to process sugars properly. There are two main types of diabetes. Type 1 is where the body does not produce any insulin and so the person is dependent on taking insulin shots to survive. Type 2 is where the body can produce insulin but may not be able to produce enough to meet the needs of the body or the body is not properly using the insulin so the person has high blood sugars. Living a healthy lifestyle can decrease your chance at getting Type 2 diabetes (Milchovich, S. K., & Dunn-Long,…

    In review of Mrs. Fisher’s interview, including her health history and discharge instructions, there is concern that further assessment of her medications is needed. The PCP needs to be contacted and updated on dose increases. Her Digoxin has been increased to 0.25 mg once a day from 0.125 every other day. The patient’s Lasix has been increased to 80 mg twice a day from 40 mg once a day. In addition, she has been prescribed Calan (verapamil) but also has multiple home medications for her heart and BP pressure. She has a nursing diagnosis of knowledge deficit, related to unfamiliarity with her disease process and lifestyle implications of disease process. A nurse should then assess Mrs. Fisher’s learning styles; teach her the pathophysiologic process of her disease, and benefits of taking her medications. Furthermore, a nurse should teach her the importance of assessing a radial pulse before taking Digoxin and following PCP instructions about when not to take it (i.e. HR 60/min or less).…
