NURSING CASE STUDY 3
Potential diagnosis and intervention
The clinical manifestation diseases for Mr. C thus according to the case study are the
diseases which can be determined through talking to patients and physical examination of the
patient. To Mr. C’s case, one of the clinical manifestations which can be observed by the nurse
through physical examination and talking to him is overweight obesity due to his body size and
high blood pressure (Ma, He & MacGregor, (2015).
The potential risk factors for the overweight obesity according to Mr. C’ medical history can
be identified as the body inactivity thus lack of physical exercise and genetics. According to the
case study, Mr. C explained that he is always seated in his place of work as he works as a
telephone center. The issue of body inactivity has predisposed him to obesity condition since the
body lacks proper metabolism which helps to burn excess fats out of the body (Baidal, et al.,
2016).
The issue of genetics according to the Mr. c’s case study is witnessed by explaining that he
has been overweight since his childhood up to date and he wants to do away with the condition
and that’s why he is seeking information on the bariatric surgery for his obese condition.
Genetics factors came in when one of his parents were obese hence they could pass such traits to
him.
Bariatric surgery includes a series of procedures performed on the obese people by reducing
the size of the stomach with a gastric band or through the removal of a portion of the stomach or
by re-routing section of small intestines into a small stomach pouch. According to Mr. C’s
medical profile that is overall weight and age, he best fit for the bariatric surgery since he weighs
over 100 pounds and he is between 17-70 years of age. Therefore, the doctor should recommend
him for bariatric surgery (Simopoulos, 2016).
