QUESTION 3
There are various issues which are highly effective and lead to create high negative health
impact to Karim. This may include the family financial status, low nutritional diet, housing
problem, quality of lifestyle (Morton et. al., (2022)). These are some of the problem through
which Karim was facing difficulty in managing better health and wellbeing. This can lead to
create negative health impact to the Karm where due to not having better and effective capability
to purchase the balance diet for him and family. This lead to create risk of negative health for the
Karm and his family. Social determinants of health refer to the health and are economic and
social condition which can influence individual and group of people to have differences in the
health status (Apata et. al., (2021)).
There are large number of population are facing the health condition which leads to
create diabetes. In this, health inequality has high role where people are not able to get better
access to food, quality life, better access to healthcare and economic status which leads to create
the situation of negative impact on individual health and wellbeing. There are about 3.8 million
of people are facing the problem of diabetes where 90% of people are facing the type 2 diabetes.
There are some of the social determinants of health which are facing by Karim. Here, social
determinants include the economic stability, health inequality, healthy and nutritional food,
access to healthcare services and many more (Boen et. al., (2020)). Here, Karim is facing the
issues of economic stability which is one of the effective determinants that leads to have high
impact on the Karim health. Due to this, Karim is not able to purchase the nutritional and balance
diet for him and his family. This leads to also affect their health where it is essential to get better
and effective healthcare treatment. Karim is facing economic instability which leads to create
high negative impact on dealing with health related issues. There is need to get better care and
support through better reach of healthcare services. In this, access to healthcare is also a social
determinant which can leads to play an important role in dealing with better health and wellbeing
(Stennett et. al., (2022)). Here, health inequality is about differences in the different status of
people which have better access to get better and effective healthcare treatment that may include
different factor. These factors may include economic status. This is the one which is highly
effective and lead to create high impact on dealing with better care and support to have good
health. Due to facing the economic instability, Karim is not able to get balanced diet and this

lead to create stress for Karim about managing family health and children proper growth and
development (Talih et. al., (2020)).
There is need to enhance in the economic condition for which Karim work hard for
longer which have high negative impact on his health. Due to not having proper balanced and
nutritional diet, it also affects Karim’s health which are associated with taking care of health and
wellbeing. Due to health inequality Karim is not able to spend good quality of life which is also
affecting his and his family health condition (Bartley, (2019)). Here, due to health inequality
Karim is not able to get the better quality of access to healthcare services which are associated
with improving the health. Due to not having equal status than other person within society,
Karim is not able to get better and effective health which are associated with taking care of
effective response that can help in dealing with proper care and better health and wellbeing. Duet
to unequal distribution of income leads to create health inequality where, Karim in not having
good income even to purchase the nutritional food which are effective and lead to create high
negative health impact that can allow to deliver better and effective response which are
associated with improving in Karim health and wellbeing. Karim is facing poverty which lead to
create the health inequality and not having equal access to healthcare service quality which can
allow to take care of his health and get better healthcare treatment and care that can allow to
improve Karim health (Jahangard et. al., (2021)).
QUESTION 4
There is various health risk which include the high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke,
kidney disease, nerve damage, fatty liver disease, high cholesterol. These are some of the risk
which are effective that can lead to create high risk for the Karim health. There is need to take
care of the health which are associated with delivery of better and effective care to individual
that can allow to take care of the health. There can be high risk of getting diabetes which should
be taken in consideration which are effective and can allow to get better deal with them. Here,
Karim may face difficulty in dealing with diabetes problem that can create difficulty in dealing
with the health condition (Steen, (2020)).
Here, it is essential to follow some goal and effective in dealing with better care. Here,
Karim need to follow the nursing care and their advice. There is need to take care of effective to
provide some advice to the Karim which can help him to manage better and effective health. In
this, there is need to provide some advice which can include about eating healthy, exercise, stop

smoking, managing blood pressure and cholesterol level, taking medication like metformin
which can help to lower the blood sugar (Macaninch et. al., (2020)).
There is also need to provide some guidance and deliver better care and support which
are associated with delivery of better care. In this, there is need to provide some advice which
includes the choose healthier carbohydrates which includes all carbs which affect blood glucose
levels. Nursing staff should also provide some advice to use less amount of salt in food. This can
help to reduce and maintain the high blood pressure which are associated with create high risk of
diabetes. There is also need to cut down the added sugar which are effective and create high
impact of dealing with better and effective health and can allow Karim to improve their health.
Nursing staff should also suggest Karim to reduce the consumption of access alcohol which are
highly effective to lead to create the risk of diabetes (May, (2018)).
There are health inequalities that can have high impact on Karim which lead to create
high impact on the Karim family. This can also lead to have high negative heath impact which is
due to not having nutritional and proper balanced diet. Economical condition of Karim and his
family leads to create the risk of dietary loss and restrict them to consume good quality of food.
This can also have high negative health impact on the Karim and his family. Economic
instability leads to create high negative on Karim and his family health and wellbeing. This
created health risk to Karim and his family where they are not able to live quality of life along
with nutritional diet (Noonan, (2018)). Here, nursing staff should suggest Karim wife to take
care of his health which should be done through following the Karim consent. Here, nursing staff
should have proper knowledge about the pre-diabetes and related diet which can help to provide
advice to Karim for improving lifestyle and diet that can help in getting better and quality of
lifestyle. They should take care of their balance diet which have high impact on their family
health and allow to prevent health related issues (South et. al., (2019)). In this, there is need to
promote health through getting in the society where Karim and like people live. This can help to
deliver quality of awareness to people and provide better health. There is need to conduct some
health promotion campaign which can allow to provide better and effective response towards
creating health awareness. In this, there is need to provide better care and support which are
effective and allow to delivery better care of patient health. Here, through getting proper
campaign which are effective care to deal with taking care of people health and wellbeing
(Russell et. al., (2018)).
