CASE STUDY ASSIGNMENT
Question 1:
The patient exhibits common issues associated with aging and along with that her eye
sight seemed to be effected by the aging for which she required glasses and could not
successfully read the health documents and access information. Along with that, she had no
basic health literacy and could not even define her issues using proper medical language
which will require assistance (Manach et al., 2017).
Question 2:
I would provide culturally safe patient education session with evidence data to support
her education and information sharing process.
Question 3:
Healthy aging oriented health promotional programs would be suggested to her to
enhance her health literacy and support her through successful disease management.
Question 4:
The nursing diagnosis for her is activity tolerance, for which she will be given
physiotherapy and medication; self-care deficit, for which she would be given
recommendation for a 24*7 assistive care giver; and lastly, pitting oedema, for which she
would be given compression socks and elevated posture training (Kaeberlein, Rabinovitch &
Martin, 2015).
Question 5:
I would have to take into consideration her cultural and religious values as she has
stated herself to be a devoted churchgoing catholic. For her age and gender, her privacy and
lack of health literacy will be considered.
