2Nursing ManagementPart One: Daniel’s Possible Chronic IllnessAcute Myocardial Infarction is a chronic condition that rises as a result of other chronic illnesses that may be found in the body of the affected patient. The condition comes hand in handwith various factors ranging from lifestyle trends such as sedentary lifestyle with no physical activities or exercises and heavy drinking and smoking of cigarettes [ CITATION Car09 \l 1033 ]. Acute Myocardial Infarction may also rise as a result of a person having a history of heart problems within the family set up. The condition is also common in males and high cholesterol levels are also not favourable for the disease.However, myocardial infarction may be caused further by chronic illnesses that are closely related with the characteristics of the disease. These chronic conditions include Obesity (excessive weight), Diabetes and high blood sugar, and High Blood Pressure [ CITATION ESC12 \l 1033 ]. Obese people are most likely to develop the condition because of their unsustainable weight conditions. From Daniel’s scenario, he is overweight with significantly over 200 kilograms and he leads a sedentary lifestyle. People with sedentary lifestyles are most likely to develop more weight. Obesity increases a person’s chances of having a heart attack, and is associated with other conditions that accelerate the risk of having a heart attack, which includes diabetes, high triglyceride levels, high levels of cholesterol and high blood pressure [ CITATION Car13 \l 1033 ].Mr. Daniel is most likely diabetic as well. Diabetes condition raises glucose or blood sugar levels to a high level that can damage blood vessels, which ultimately results in artery disease, a health condition that can most likely trigger heart attacks in certain persons.

It relatively related to age; with the advancement in age increasing the likelihood of developing it. High Blood Pressure destroys arteries and increases the rate of plaque formation.The Impact on the FamilyChronic illnesses pose a very big challenge to the affected individuals and their families[ CITATION Chr03 \l 1033 ]. There is always an inevitable change in how the family lives and carries out its daily social and economic activities[ CITATION Cal09 \l 1033 ]. In this case, if Danielwas to be found with any of the possible chronic illnesses associated with his Acute Myocardial Infarction condition, then it would have a tremendous impact on his family, his wife and his son. It would also have to affect his job because the illnesses require total concentration on the medication. Daniel’s family will have to provide him with appropriate family care that would complement that of healthcare [ CITATION Has17 \l 1033 ].The two greatest impacts of Daniel’s illnesses would be financial implications and change in his family’s social life due to the increased demand of his care. Given that he was the family’s primary breadwinner, Daniel’s illnesses would set him back financially, and the whole family as a unit will suffer even more, because his son cannot sustain the basic demands of the family. Socially, the chronic conditions would definitely affect structural functioning of the family, in relation to organization, communication patterns and even beliefs shared within the family set up[ CITATION Miy17 \l 1033 ]. Alma, Daniel’s wife’s already existing depression condition combined with the Daniel’s chronic illness would pose a real challenge for the family.
