\nPOPULATION: The purpose of this discussion to to analyze and address
\nnutritional needs, appropriate exercises, and stress management
\ntechniques for an at risk \/ vulnerable population. According to the
\nAmerican Journal of Managed Care article \u201cVulnerable Populations\u201d
\n(2006), at risk and vulnerable populations include the economically
\ndisadvantaged, racial, uninsured, low-income children, the elderly, and
\nthose with chronic health conditions including mental illness. For this
\nweek, I will discuss John Smith, a 71 year old caucasian male, with a
\nBMI of 34, who worked as a history professor prior to retiring, recently
\ndiagnosed with non-insulin dependent diabetes (type 2 diabetes
\nmellitus).<\/p>\n
NUTRITION: Nutrition for a Type 2 diabetic is specifically designed
\nto reduce non-fasting glucose levels. Current recommendations include a
\nwell-balanced meal plan with foods from all food groups, with fewer
\ncalories, an emphasis on healthy fats, and distribution of starches.
\nRecommendations include comprehensive glycemic index reduction to be
\nbetween 80-130. Referrals for nutritional programs would include the
\nAmerican Diabetes Association website, diabetes.org, specifically
\nrelating to the the sections on healthy recipes, meal planning, and
\nshopping lists. (“Food”, n.d.) Additionally, the client may be referred
\nto a National Diabetes Educational Program Partner or Community
\nOrganization, which provides educational assistance on living with
\ndiabetes and provides a list of resources indoor community. (“NDEP
\nPartner and Community Organization Information”, n.d.)<\/p>\n
EXERCISE: According to the American Diabetic Associations \u201cStandards
\nof Medical Care in Diabetes-2015\u201d (2015), they currently recommend that
\nsomeone with the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, should break up extended
\nperiods of non-activity (more than 90 minutes) with activity of some
\nsort. According to the American Diabetic Association, the following
\nexercise activities are recommended (not all inclusive): Brisk walking,
\nbiking, dancing, low-impact aerobics, swimming, playing tennis, stair
\nclimbing, and jogging. (“What We Recommend”, n.d.)<\/p>\n
STRESS MANAGEMENT COUNSELING: Stress management is important, as
\ndiabetes at times can cause significant amounts of lifestyle changes,
\noften dramatically. In addition, if the disease process itself is
\nuncontrolled, the patient may experience other difficulties associated,
\nsuch as peripheral neuropathy, which may cause a bit of stress if the
\npatient is having a limitation of their activity levels. As exercise is
\nrecommended for diabetes, light exercise may greatly help reduce
\nstress. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America,
\nthe following activities are recommended to reduce stress: regular
\nexercise, talking with friends or family members, sleeping, watching
\nmovies or TV, eating well, and listening to music. (“Physical Activity
\nReduces Stress | Anxiety and Depression Association of America, ADAA”,
\n2016) Furthermore, they recommend alternatives such as tai chi and yoga
\nas valid techniques for stress reduction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
