20-30 minutes
Location of Teaching:

Brochures and refreshments
Estimated Cost:
$25.00
Community and Target Aggregate:
People between the age of 22-34 (young adults)
Topic:
Preventing of the threat of Type 2 Diabetes
Epidemiological Rational for Topic:
As per the study of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there are more than
100 million Americans who have diabetes or prediabetes. It was found that in 2015, 30.3
million people in the United States were suffering from diabetes (CDC, 2017). It contributed
to 9.4 per cent of the total population of the country. Along with these diabetes patients, there
are another 84.1 million Americans who have prediabetes. If they are not treated within the
period of next five years, then they are likely to suffer from type 2 diabetes. There are
approximately 1.25 million American children and adults who have type-1 diabetes.
Moreover, over 1.5 million new people are diagnosed with diabetes every year in the US. It is
the seventh leading cause of death in the country with 79,535 deaths in 2015. Nearly, 1 in
every 4 adults is living with diabetes which means 7.2 million adults are diagnosed with

diabetes (Diabetes, 2017). Furthermore, 11.6 per cent of the adults in American are suffering
from prediabetes.
Nursing Diagnosis:
The main reason for the increasing number of diabetes is imbalanced nutrition because body
takes more nutrition than required which lead to weight gain and it increases the threat of
diabetes.
Readiness for Learning:
The feelings of young adults will be evaluated for preventing type 2 diabetes along with
obesity. They will be asked appropriate questions regarding reducing risks factors, and they
will be encouraged to engage in conversations to improve their health.
Learning Theory to be Utilized:
Teach-back theory is an effective way to reduce the communication gap between the teacher
and the clients (Jager & Wynia, 2012). I will also use this theory to connect with my
audience. The teaching materials which I will use will be in simple English, and they will not
include complex medical terminologies. Clients will be questioned based on what they learn
from the brochure, and they will be asked to repeat the material. I will use eye contact, body
language and personal connection to understand clients and teach them about the threat of
diabetes.
Goal:
The focus area selected for this plan is “D-16 Increase prevention behaviors in persons at
high risk for diabetes with prediabetes”.
This goal aligns with my teaching which is focused on changing the behavior of young adults
in relation to increasing the level of their physical activities. This goal was focused on
encouraging 49.1 per cent people to increase their physical activity who are aged 18 and
above to reduce the risk of diabetes (Healthy People, n.d.). These individuals have fasting
glucose which is higher than or equal to 100 and less than 126mg/dl. People who are 18 years
or above age should reduce the amount of fat or calories from their diet to address the issue of
diabetes.
