The purpose of this essay is for students to present a comprehensive discussion and justification identifying two (2) care priorities within a clinical scenario using the Levett-Jones’ Clinical Reasoning Cycle. Students are required to provide critical analysis and justification of the care priorities using appropriate academic references. Essay should revise issue of stigma, coping, family impact and services available Discuss the trajectories, adjustments, redefining “care”, communication and inter-displinary care.

Due date March 24 2018 NRSG366 Assessment Task One: Case Study One NRSG366 Semester One 2018 Assessment Task One: Case Study One Multiple factors influence the care of patients with chronic conditions. As a Primary Heath Care nurse, it is important that care given is prioritised based on both clinical and patient needs. Prioritisation of the patient needs for care is integral to daily nursing practice. This requires integrating and collaborating different aspects of patient needs in order to maximise care activities and the effectiveness of nursing interventions. This case study is designed to demonstrate the integration of various principles of managing care of patients with chronic conditions. Students will be expected to identify and discuss two PRIORITIES OF CARE and apply the clinical reasoning cycle to these as a means of justification. Please refer to the subject outline and marking rubric when answering this question. NRSG366 Assessment Task One: Case Study One Case scenario Peter Mitchell is a 52 year old male with morbid obesity and type 2 diabetes who was admitted to the medical ward with poorly controlled diabetes, obesity ventilation syndrome and sleep apnoea. Peter was referred by his GP after he presented with symptoms of shakiness, diaphoresis, increased hunger, high BGL levels and difficulty breathing whilst sleeping. Peter has been a smoker for approximately 30 years and smokes approximately 20 cigarettes per day. On his previous admission, Peter was seen by a dietician and commenced on low energy, high protein diet (LEHP) to assist with weight reduction. His GP had previously discussed weight loss with Peter however he had never wanted to do anything about it as it seemed ‘too hard’. Peter was also reviewed by the physiotherapist and was commenced on light exercises which he was to continue at home on discharge. Peter has been discharged home, with referral to community care unit for ongoing support and follow up, after four weeks in the medical ward to manage his weight and clinical comorbidities. Past medical history  Obesity (weight 145kgs with a BMI of 50.2m2).  Type 2 diabetes (Diagnosed 9 years ago)  Hypertension  Depression (Diagnosed three months ago by GP).  Sleep apnoea  Gastro oesophageal disease reflux disease Social History Peter is an unemployed male who receives government benefits. Peter lost his job three years ago as a fork lift driver at the Moranbah coal mine in far North Queensland. Peter states that he has always been a ’biggish guy’ with his ‘normal weight’ sitting at around 105kg but since starting insulin and losing his job he has gained a significant amount of weight. NRSG366 Assessment Task One: Case Study One Consequently, because of his weight issues Peter has difficulty finding work due to fatigue and feeling generally ‘uncomfortable’ about his size. Peter is a divorcee who lives alone, his two sons live in the same state but live in different cities and rarely visit him. He is socially isolated because he is embarrassed by his size and he rarely goes out. Peter is also finding it increasingly difficult to perform activities of daily living (ADLs). Peter realises that he is in the prime of his middle age life and is motivated to lose weight and quit smoking but isn’t sure where to start. Current Medication  Insulin Novamix 30 B D (34units mane & 28units nocte)  Metformin 500mg BD  Lisinopril 10mg daily  Nexium 20mg daily  Metoprolol 50mg BD  Pregabalin (Lyrica) 50mg nocte Last observations on discharge  Weight 145kgs  Height 170cms  BP 180/92mmHg  RR 23 Bpm  HR 102 Bpm  Sp02 95% on RA ASSESSMENT TASK 1: Individual Case Study Marking Criteria - Weighting: 40% Assessment Criteria HIGH DISTINCTION High HD 1 0 0 - 9 5 HIGH DISTINCTION Low HD 94-85 DISTINCTION 75-84 CREDIT 65-74 PASS 50-64 FAIL 49-30 FAIL 29-1 NO ATTEMPT 0 MARK Language Awareness and Sequencing The language is sophisticated, with integrated professional language and terminology, and suits the purpose for which the essay is intended Content is organised, and there is a logical progression of ideas that promotes flow of thought.

Introduction
Peter Mitchell is a 52-year-old middle aged man suffering from obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, depression, sleep apnoea and gastro-oesophageal disease reflux disease (GERD). Before leaving his last job, he was weighing 105 kg, and
in last three years, he has gained about 40kgs resulted in 145 kgs. He regularly takes insulin for controlling his diabetes.
He is unemployed for past three years and is socially isolated because of his size. Peter Mitchell is a divorcee, and his two children are living separately in different cities who hardly get time to meet him. Peter is depressed as for last three he is unemployed, and he could not get any job because of his weight. There is a requirement for priority care for Peter to handle his health situation and can become better over the time.
Critical Analysis
The two-priority care are obesity and GERD. These two cares were chosen based on the Levett-Jones’ Clinical Reasoning Cycle (Rossiter, 2013).
Considering the patient situation, it is clear that the patient is alone at home and unable to do the basic daily activities and is unemployment. Peter was already an obese patient, but that was never a constraint over his employment. Peter has gained more weight since becoming unemployed and unable to get a new job. Peter complains about shakiness, increased hunger, diaphoresis, sleep apnoea and high BGL levels. Peter is facing more trouble and has various complications in his health that require to address them with priority. Peter is unable to do his daily routines that are causing more trouble for his livelihood, and he is living alone.
After collecting information from the patient it is clear that Peter has gained more weight as he is alone and suffering from obesity, depression, type 2 diabetics for 9 years, hypertension, GRED and sleep apnoea (Hershcovici & Fass, 2013). The patient was given diet schedule to reduce his weight but he failed to follow them, and physiotherapist recommended some exercise to Peter post his discharge (Avhandling, 2014). He is reluctant to take hard and tough dieting issue as he is complaining that he is suffering from increased hunger issue. The patient is motivated to lose weight and quit smoking.
Process information is the next important stage of Levett-Jones’ Clinical Reasoning Cycle where it is essential to understand and correlate them with the medical condition (Rossiter, 2013). The patient will not cooperate with strict diet schedule given by the dietician as it is difficult to follow. The critical information to consider is obesity and GERD when compared to others because due to GERD the patient is facing more difficulty in the following diet (Barnes et al., 2014). The patient is always being overweight to obese and being oversize was not a great issue before. Similarly, the patient it is not complaining much about the people with diabetes and taking insulin and complaints related to the hypertension is not alarming as of the current observation (Bessesen, 2014). The patient was addicted to smoking and aims to quit smoking and wants to reduce weight but his medical condition is not cooperating, and he requires more care to overcome the issues.
Paying closer attention to identifying problems will result in identifying the cause of the problem. Smoking habit is a major problem and quitting smoking will also cause some weight gain to the people who are reducing them. Due to GERD, he is unable to control the food consumption and facing more digestive issues. There is a close relationship between obesity and GERD as both of them fuel the problem. Smoking is related to the GERD that is smoking causes GERD (Hamdy, 2018). In this case, the obese patient should pay attention to the GERD problem so that he can reduce the challenges associated with the dieting and reducing smoking...
