Bachelor of Nursing Assignment
Introduction
This paper is a comprehensive analysis of behavioral perspectives of Toan Lee regarding
his life span. This paper has adopted the name Toan Le, which is not the real name of the
respondent for confidentiality purposes. The paper focused on social, biological, and
psychological factors that define Le’s life. The author conducted an interview with Toan Le at
his business in town, which is a simple restaurant. This highlights the key developmental and
experience factors as narrated by Le and observed by the author. Based on the outcomes, the
paper predicts his life in the next five years. The author selected Toan Le because he is among
older people in the community who have depicted significant effort in trying to remain active in
business despite his age and health condition.
Background Information
Toan Lee is a 69-year-old Australian of Indigenous origin sharing a humble background
with thousands of other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Lee came from an average
family because his parents and siblings didn’t have the opportunity to access education and other
social advantages. His brother and sister, who were the younger siblings in the family, died when
Le was 15 and 19 years old respectively. Six years later his father died of chronic diabetes, a
situation that was exacerbated by lack of access to treatment and cultural influence. Toan Lee
moved to this town after his mother died of heart disease. He hand received a scholarship to
continue with his education. He got married at the age of 27 after getting a job in an assembly
firm as a mechanic. However, his delight was cut short after he was diagnosed with chronic
diabetes and he had to quit his job and focus on an alternative source of income. Currently, Toan

Lee lives with his wife, 61 years old, two of his grandchildren, and a relative who works at the
restaurant. His son and daughter work outside the town.
Biological Factors
Toan Le’s family history is associated with diabetes cases. His father died of chronic
diabetes when it was diagnosed at an advanced stage. Cultural beliefs prevented access to early
interventions. Literature depicts that genetics impact diabetes diagnoses as seen in Toan Le’s
family (Azzopardi, Brown, & Zimmet, 2012). There is a high risk of his children suffering from
the same condition if they fail to take early control and change sedentary behavioral tendencies.
When asked about his feeling regarding his condition, Toan Le points out that lack of awareness
contributed to his condition. He was not aware of the associated risks factors and lifestyle
changes that could have reduced his exposure to these risks. Diabetes is a preventable condition
and could equally be controlled at an early stage to prevent premature mortality (Browne et al.,
2013). For example, Toan Le’s father died prematurely because he did not receive early medical
interventions. However, Toan Le has managed to live with the condition all the years because he
got help at an early stage. Through collaboration with healthcare practitioners, care management
was designed to meet his needs. Patient-centered care in diabetes management improves patient
experiences and ability to manage the symptoms (Dunning, Duggan, & Savage, 2014; Emden et
al., 2012). Toan Le believes that his health is deteriorating; however, he acknowledges that his
health has improved over the years since he committed himself to adhere to medication and
proper diet, which are essential for symptom management.
Through the interview and observations made, it was clear that Toan Le had absolutely
transformed his lifestyle to improve his health. He adhered to the recommended carbohydrate
intake. He affirmed that he does not smoke or drink alcohol. Diet and positive behavior improve
