INTRODUCTION
Management of high acuity clients is regarded to be one of the prominent aspects in every
industry or the sector that is dealing with clients. There are certain policies that will have to be
incorporated in order to bring in the better measures which are to be applied in order to serve
clients (Clapp and et.al, 2018). This when applied to the Healthcare industry will depend upon
type of measures that they are incorporating in order to clinical lead the kind of circumstances
that they will have to deal. The outcomes that are associated with healthcare industry to bring in
the probability of improved health status is one of the prominent factors of dealing with high
equity clients. Assessment revolves around the patient suffering from Below knee amputation
disorder.
MAIN BODY
Identifying a high acuity client: this entire assessment is based on the medical diagnosis of a
client who is suffering from Below knee amputation disorder and is from an aboriginal
community of very little medical facilities. There are certain formulations that are in regard to
this particular client who is also suffering from few of the factors like that of diabetes mellitus
hypertension and obesity (Pulok and et.al, 2020). Few of the symptoms are such that lifestyle got
affected and that has led to severity it on health. Being a single patient and dealing with all these
atrocities is like a bringing about the different challenges that are in the midst of the patient's life.
Challenges associated
Anxiety: One of the biggest challenges that has the been identified in this particular client is
depression and anxiety. Depression and anxiety are the biggest psychological distress that will
result in high chance of heart attack and also it will bring about an amputation procedure that
will result in serious risk condition (Pulok and et.al, 2020). In this regard the age factor is also
one of the prominent aspects that will have to be considered with respect to the patient and the
treatment criteria is also based on the type of factors that patient is undergoing.
Economic and financial factors: economic and financial factors are regarded to be those
challenges that every client usually faced (Wong and Smith, 2019). With respect to health care
and its prominence economy is one of those components that will derive stability of a patient or a
client. Sometimes the medical help is also dependent upon how far the client is up to their
financial condition. Sometimes the economy of client will also decide the kind of medical

treatment that they will have to go through. This in return will lead to depression and anxiety one
of the biggest challenges that will have to be faced by clients in the community.
Post-traumatic stress disorder: in several cases this is one of the criteria which is being
diagnosed (Wong and Smith, 2019). This symptom is usually reflected over patients who are
severely injured. This condition is entirely a chronic condition that will lead to illness and
depression. The anxiety and depression symptoms that will last in this condition will reflect upon
the family support that they derive. Few patients will get over this condition and the challenges
through positive behaviour that they incorporate.
CRITIQUE
Evidence-based strategies: research has conclusively brought about certain assumptions that are
in regard to diagnosis of patients and the therapy they will have to incorporate (Salameh, 2018).
Through this research it is being stated that financial support is one of the major entity that is
brought about to move ahead with the kind of medication that will have to be incorporated in the
patient. Poor family guidance is also one of those factors that will fall in regard to the aboriginal
community that makes it a prominent factor to lack in multiple rehabilitation centres (Salameh,
2018). The medical services are also improved due to this particular factor of financial support
and therefore there is also a need of rehabilitation centres that will have to be developed. There
are certain improvements that will have to be fostered in regard to improving the medication
against the amputation structures. This is one of the important criteria and a significant approach
will have to be derived in assessing the risk of amputation factors (Kassim and et.al, 2021).
Monitoring nursing practices: the nursing practices play a major role in deriving the kind of
medication that will have to be carry forwarded in terms of acquiring the basic knowledge
regarding the criteria of client. The nursing practices will have to be monitored at all stages in
order to make sure that proper medication is being applied to the client that is suffering from
severe acidity of a condition (Kassim and et.al, 2021). These nursing practices will have to be
improved in such a way that or monitoring of health and the atmosphere of regular check-ups
will have to be fostered. This can eventually done by rehabilitation programmes which is one of
the important criteria in maintaining hygienic routine. Some of the health benefits of how far the
clients are maintaining their healthy food conditions is also monitored by healthcare
professionals such that they can get through their similarity (Kassim and et.al, 2021).

Addition of efficient medical help and experts: in order to make sure that proper medical
treatment is incorporated and its of dealing with the atrocities of health conditions the efficient
medical help will have to be incorporated in terms of dealing with the kind of challenges that are
in regard to clients (Fry and et.al, 2018). There is a need of government to be involved in
bringing about the initiatives such that the financial assistance that will have to be granted to
support communities and especially the minority communities in transforming their needs (Fry
and et.al, 2018). Medical experts will have to be created in order to deal with the circumstances
of people who are dealing with acute problems. There are certain demands that will have to be
met in terms of bringing about certain circumstances like treating prosthetic limbs where this is
one of the criteria of disorder in patients (Fry and et.al, 2018). In addressing these conditions and
the most appropriate measures that will have to be incorporated can only be dealt by professional
experts. Therefore medical help to these communities is one of the important factors that will
have to be considered at all levels.
Efficient medical help and the experts: they are required and will have to be fostered in the case
of dealing with this particular condition of people. There are certain increasing medical
Infrastructures that are necessary to bring about efficient health factors that are necessary for the
aboriginal community (Smith and Goode, 2021). There are certain centres that will have to be
arranged in order to foster nursing such that people can get to have a good sense of maintaining
hygiene and healthy diet. There is a proper routine that will have to be followed in terms of diet
as well as regular checkup and this health criteria in patients are necessary to be incorporated
(Smith and Goode, 2021). The health care as well as its professionals will have to bring about
efficient measures such that they can address the kind of issues that are being faced by people
around.
Pathophysiological and psychosocial challenges
Depression, anxiety and PTSD are regarded to be the factors that occur in people and are
also the causes for imports to rise in patients. This is because there is lack of family support as
well as the financial stability that will fall in regard to the community (Abebe and et.al, 2018).
Therefore the community best assessment will have to be taken care about and will have to be
administered in a patient such that rehabilitation centre can be established and the proper care
can be incorporated in the people. Putting aside the financial as well as the medical support the
environment that people are residing will have to be healthy in order to move ahead with the

kind of actions that will include proper diagnosis as well as health expertise that will bring about
reducing the risk factors after a greater intervention of healthy measures (Abebe and et.al, 2018).
Taking example of diabetic patients where there are certain formulations that are included in
their criteria like that of extreme pain numerous infections as well as a condition of fatigue that is
probably occurring.
Client and family partnership
Family plays a major role in treating the client upon a 50% because there is a kind of
communication that will be incorporated in reducing the anxiety which is one of the important
factor in dealing with amputation. Financial help is not just the one that is required in this
prospect it is also the sustainable medical help which will have to be supplied to people at all
levels and monitoring changes is also one of the important factor (Abebe and et.al, 2018). In this
regard the patient's family plays a major role in identifying as well as treating the behaviour of
patient. Healthy relation will have to be established between the family as well as the patient
such that problems of anxiety as well as distress can be reduced. The healthcare centres will also
have to record the patient health at all levels such that they can get to understand the progress as
well as a kind of useful measures that they will have to induce.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Ethical, legal, political and technological issues
Ethical issues will get disturbed by the impaired activities that are caused by neurological
changes (Gellert and et.al, 2017). Certain ethical issues that will fall under this condition will
develop heart problems that will also bring about certain factors like thrombosis pneumonia and
slow pain in the limbs. Few of ethical practices as well as its conditions that will fall in regard to
the lack of recovery rate will include nonmaleficence, justice, beneficence and autonomy. Patient
will have to be treated in such a way that they will have to be included into various activities like
that of interaction with healthy protein and also that which will foster psychological distress
(Gellert and et.al, 2017). There is a condition of post depression that will prevail in regard to the
clinical conditions and therefore they are to be treated accordingly. Certain formulations will
revolve around the medical facilities and the lack of various factors like that of family support
and social influences will fall in regard to the patient and their probable treatments. The
professionals in the healthcare will have to bring about every criteria in dealing with these
aspects of patients (Gellert and et.al, 2017). The legal affairs that will be included in regard to

treating the problems will be antitrust issues as well as medical infrastructure. These are the
variant factors that well lakh expertise in healthcare as well as the kind of practices that are being
incorporated. Political issues are the ones that will fall under poor infrastructure as well as the
kind of resources that are lacking in providing proper benefits to people (Gellert and et.al, 2017).
Sometimes the lack of technology is also following as one of the framework there for
technological implementations will have to be taken care about in order to develop the kind of
practices that will reduce tension images of patients.
Strategies to manage issues: the Healthcare industry as well as the staff will have to be provided
with proper guidance as well as training in order to deal with the factors of health issues
(Horwood and Eiferman, 2018). There is also a code of nursing ethics that will have to be
fostered in medical services such that a kind of practice that is necessary for people to get trained
will be incorporated. The disciplinary actions regarding the medical ethics as well as those that
are not following basic ethics will have to be taken such that there can be a kind of revolution in
treating people. The family conferences will have to be arranged that all levels such that they can
be motivated and can be able to deal with patient in a more vigorous way (Horwood and
Eiferman, 2018). The government in this regard will have to write certain funds to treat
amputation patients. This is one of the major necessity because in order to establish the Health
Care Centres it is the funding which plays a major role. Government will also have to take care
about the facilities as well as a kind of technology that will have to be incorporated in bringing
about the monitoring of Healthcare hand medical help to patients (Horwood and Eiferman,
2018). New medical staff will have to be recruited and the amputation techniques will have to be
taught in order to improve all the conditions that are related to medical scenario. Counselling will
have to be offered to people in order to improve their mental health and also to deal with their
stability.
CONCLUSION
The report concludes up on identifying the aspects of high acuity patients and their medical
intervention. The health care practices as well as the kind of financial resources that are
necessary for people to understand the processes as well as the advantages that are in regard to
offering proper medical intervention is being discussed in this report. Advanced technology as
well as the medical experts that are necessary in order to deal with amputation process are being
discussed in this report. Below knee amputation is one of the kind of medical intervention that is

being processed in this report that is being associated with various severities like that of mental
distress as well as anxiety. The impact of personal care as well as the kind of interventions that
will have to be made with respect to interactions of family and personal care are also identified
in this regard. How an unhealthy lifestyle will affect a person's health is being depicted in this
report along with the kind of formulations that will have to be followed by the patient.
