Briefly describe how the theory can be of value in Joseph’s case. (1-2 sentences) Explain how you use your theory to provide and guide care for Joseph. It is like Discussion Board #2 except go right to the application of the theory. Use the different concepts from the model/in your table and include an NP action you would take (teaching, referral, etc.) to address the issues.Case Study: A Patient With Uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetes and Complex Comorbidities Whose Diabetes Care Is Managed by an Advanced Practice Nurse You are an NP at a diabetes specialty clinic and you meet Joseph for the first time, a retired 69-year-old man with a 5-year history of type 2 diabetes. Although he was diagnosed in 2018, he had symptoms indicating hyperglycemia for 2 years before diagnosis. He had fasting blood glucose records indicating values of 118-127 mg/dl, which were described to him as indicative of “borderline diabetes.” He also remembered past episodes of nocturia associated with large pasta meals and Italian pastries. At the time of initial diagnosis, he was advised to lose weight (“at least 10 lb.”) but no further action was taken. Referred by his family physician to the diabetes specialty clinic, Joseph presents with recent weight gain, suboptimal diabetes control, and foot pain. He has been trying to lose weight and increase his exercise for the past 6 months without success. He had been started on empagliflozin every day but admits he doesn’t think it works and forgets to take it many mornings. He also takes atorvastatin for hypercholesterolemia and adheres to the daily schedule because he keeps it by the bed to take as part of his bedtime routine. He does not test his blood glucose levels at home and expresses doubt that this procedure would help him improve his diabetes control. “What would knowing the numbers do for me?,” he asks. “The doctor already knows the sugars are high.” Joseph states that he has “never been sick a day in my life.” He recently sold his business and has become very active in a variety of volunteer organizations. He lives with his wife of 48 years and has two married children. Although both his mother and father had type 2 diabetes, Joseph has limited knowledge regarding diabetes self-care management and states that he does not understand why he has diabetes since he never eats sugar. In the past, his wife has encouraged him to treat his diabetes with herbal remedies and weight-loss supplements, and she frequently scans the Internet for the latest diabetes remedies. During the past year, Joseph has gained 22 lb. Since retiring, he has been more physically active, playing golf once a week and gardening, but he has been unable to lose more than 2-3 lb. He has never seen a dietitian and has not been instructed in self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG). Joseph’s diet history reveals excessive carbohydrate intake in the form of bread and pasta. His normal dinners consist of 2 cups of cooked pasta with homemade sauce and three to four slices of Italian bread. During the day, he often has “a slice or two” of bread with butter or olive oil. He also eats 4-6 pieces of fresh fruit per day at meals and as snacks. He prefers chicken and fish, but it is usually served with a tomato or cream sauce accompanied by pasta. His wife has offered to make him plain grilled meats, but he finds them “tasteless” so won’t eat them. He drinks 8 oz. of red wine with dinner each evening. He stopped smoking more than 10 years ago The medical documents sent to the clinic indicate that Joseph’s hemoglobin A1c (A1C) has never been <8%. His blood pressure has been measured at 150/70, 148/92, and 166/88 mmHg on separate occasions during the past year at the local senior center screening clinic. Although he was told that his blood pressure was "up a little," he was not aware of the need to keep his blood pressure ≤130/80 mmHg for both cardiovascular and renal health. Joseph has never had a thorough oot exam as part of his primary care exams, nor has he been instructed in preventive foot care. However, his medical records also indicate that he has had no surgeries or hospitalizations, his immunizations are up to date, and, in general, he has been healthy for many years.
