Application of Clinical Reasoning Cycle to a Patient Case Study Report

This report examines the application of the clinical reasoning cycle in assessing a 56-year-old male patient, Mr. Joni, with a history of hypertension, poor eating habits, and physical inactivity, who is at risk of developing multiple health complications. The report details each step of the clinical reasoning cycle, including the patient's situation, information collection (BGL, cholesterol, blood pressure), information processing, identification of issues (type 2 diabetes), and the consequences of the disease. It covers SMART goal setting, actions taken, evaluation of the patient's condition, and reflection on the learning process. The report highlights the connection between vital signs and illness, the use of the clinical reasoning cycle, and the management of type 2 diabetes. The conclusion emphasizes the clinical reasoning cycle's usefulness, the potential for positive health outcomes through lifestyle modifications, and the importance of patient-centered care. The report includes references to relevant research articles.
