Presentation: Assessing Mr. Joni's Risk of Type 2 Diabetes

This presentation analyzes Mr. Joni's risk of developing type 2 diabetes, examining his medical history and lifestyle to assess his chances of developing the condition. It delves into the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes, including its symptoms and potential consequences for Mr. Joni. The presentation outlines goals to reduce risks, such as weight and cholesterol reduction, and details nursing actions including lifestyle assessment, dietary habits evaluation, and the development of an exercise program. It emphasizes the importance of patient education and self-management strategies to mitigate the risks of type 2 diabetes, and concludes with a summary of key findings. The presentation references several key research papers and guidelines related to diabetes management and nursing care.

Introduction
• The purpose of this presentation is to discuss the risk of Mr. Joni
developing type 2 diabetes.
• Diabetes type 2 is the main complication he is likely to develop
according to the presented case. s
• The presentation analyzes Joni’s medical history and his lifestyle
behaviors to assess the chances of experiencing diabetes type 2.
• We will also talk about the consequences of diabetes type 2 for Mr. Joni.
• The presentation finally talks about interventions to lower the risks of
having diabetes type 2.

Type II Diabetes
• It affects at least 5% of adult Australians ("Diabetes, Type 2 diabetes -
Australian Institute of Health and Welfare", 2019).
• The risks of developing this chronic condition increases with poor
diet, overweight, lack of exercising, smoking, and hereditary factors
(Goldstein & Mueller-Wieland, 2016).
• Joni has in the past been diagnosed with gout and hypertension.
• His observations and the findings from his health assessment indicate
signs and symptoms of diabetes type 2 .

Pathophysiology
• Diabetes type 2 is a chronic disease
that affects the ability of the body to
metabolize blood sugar.
• This condition characterized by a
resistance against insulin and
hyperglycemia (Inzucchi et al., 2012).
It is also accompanied by an
impairment in the secretion of insulin.
• It is accompanied by other conditions
like hypertension.
• β-cell function declines leading to
failure of the β-cell.
(Diabetes Journal, 2019)

Cont…
• The symptoms of diabetes type 2 include ("Type 2 diabetes -
Symptoms and causes", 2019):
Frequent urine excretion.
Increased thirst
Prolonged healing of wounds
Weight loss
Frequent infections and
Fatigue

Goals to Reduce Risks of Complication
• Mr Joni will see a reduction in his weight by almost 30%.
• His cholesterol level will reduce to approximately 6mmol/L
• Obesity and being overweight is one of the risk factors of diabetes.
• The main goal, therefore, is to reduce Joni’s weight.
• This may consequently reduce the cholesterol level as required.

Nursing Actions
• Assessment of Joni’s lifestyle.
• Assessment of eating habits (Ruder, 2015).
• Determining the knowledge of the patient regarding nutrition.
• Designing an exercise program.

Cont…
• Developing a plan to reduce the patient’s appetite.
• Giving Joni the necessary information regarding ways of observing
the dietary plan even when he is away from home ("4 Obesity Nursing
Care Plans - Nurseslabs", 2019).
• Medication if necessary.

Cont…
• It is important to educate Mr. Joni on how to change his life style
factor to reduce the risks of having type II diabetes.
• The education should focus around self-management.
• Encouraging Joni to involve himself in more social activities is also
important.
• Identification of Joni’s long-term goals about his health ("4 Obesity
Nursing Care Plans - Nurseslabs", 2019).

Conclusion
• Type 2 diabetes affects the ability of the body to metabolize blood
sugar
• It affects approximately 5% of adults in Australia.
• It is characterized by increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and
unexpected weight loss among other symptoms.
• Weight loss and reducing total cholesterol level help in lowering the
risks of developing type 2 diabetes.
• These goals are achieved through a proper diet, exercising, and
lifestyle changes.
