PART 2 (Primary Healthcare Report)
2.1 Primary Healthcare Philosophy
Primary health care (PHC) covers the bulk of a person's life-long health care needs. It
encompasses physical, emotional and social possibly the best-being and is more focused on
individuals than on illness. PHC is a whole-of-society strategy including health education,
treatment of injury, diagnosis, recovery and hospital care.This approach helps in resolving health
problems and a standard of quality of service. As a strategy medical service interacts with the
community's serious health issues and concerns. This can include medical and recovery
programs, patient or family counselling and assistance, health protection and prevention of
sickness and economic development (Maijala, Tossavainen and Turunen, 2016).
2.2 Defining Health Issues
In present time, it is very important to conduct a health assessment program as it support to
detect the issue or symptoms of a diseases within an individual. Proper body check-up enables to
define the main area of body or give indication about the body part which is suffering from a
particular disease. A health appraisal is a treatment plan that defines a person's particular needs,
and how the health service or nursing care centre should meet those needs. Medical screening is
a screening of health condition after doing a medical test by obtaining a background of fitness.
2.3 Issues of Health on Daily Activities of Living
Physical: In case if an individual is suffering from a disease such as, Covid-19, Cancer etc.
he / she not able to perform their own personal work in proper manner. Their body temperature
increase and different part of body feels pain and they found themselves in a condition where
they are not able to stand properly.
Psychological: As individual suffer from any serious disease the very first thing comes to their
mind is of death at any time. They use to think that no one can save their life and the only option
is end of life after certain period of time. This extra worry also lead to mental disease and
patience may also faces the problem of brain collapse or Comma (Morken, Johansenand Alsaker,
2015).
Social: When an individual is suffering from a disease which cannot be cure immediately
then surrounded people also start behaving in rude manner to them due to which they might feel

alone and sideward in the community. Many time people avoid touching a patient, or helping
them if they really need help which can cause a serious damage to entire humanity.
2.4 Privacy and Consent
Yes, definitely I would like to share all the necessary details with the patient family member
because they are the only individuals who would take care of patient in any situation. I will also
discuss the all possible measure and precaution which are needed to be considering when they
are with patient. This will give some sort of support to the suffering individual and he / she can
better compete with the disease and get rid of.

2.6 Illness Prevention and Health Promotion
Health promotion as well as disease protection is the strategies through which as a nurse I tackle
health factors that affect modifiable risk behaviours (Munyewende, Rispeland Chirwa, 2014).
The physical, financial, social and religious environments, under which humans are born,
develop and live impacting overall health are also the social factors. Modifiable factors involve,
for example, tobacco consumption, unhealthy eating patterns and lack of physical exercise
related to severe disease progression.Raising consciousness for the wider populace is about safe
habits and public service announcements, wellness fairs, social marketing promotions, and
updates are instances of communication techniques.
2.7 Health Literacy
The literacy-health connection is complex such as literacy impacts awareness of the
environment, medical history and access to public care. Several social indicators have an effect
on state of health. Literacy affects the level of wages, jobs, schooling, accommodation, and
medical care. Lower middle class individuals are much more susceptible to toxic contaminants or
work in unsafe circumstances.
The practical health literacy represents the result of mainstream health education focused on
sharing accurate health risk knowledge and how to navigate the health care system. This policy
has specific targets aimed at enhancing awareness of health threats and programs, and
enforcement with recommended interventions (Neuwelt, Kearns and Browne, 2015).
2.8 Evidence-based Practice
The client had Alcohol use disorder (AUD).
Sources of information:
Health line: Here information related to health terminologies or disease and their symptoms can
be searched and facts can be gathered.
Science direct: This source helps in searching about the facts and information related to science.
It provides journal articles based on the disease and conditions searched about the client.

Part 3 (Care Plan Review)
3.1 Follow-up
The following patient is asked to visit the clinic after 7 day (4 times in a month) so that
proper track about the recovery can be maintained and in case of any problem effective steps are
made to remove the disease. Body in needed to be checked once in a month so that any side
reaction can be trace and effective measures are made.
3.2 Health Plan Information
For future treatment and saving of money proper health plan must be added to the patient
who covers his / her whole body check-up and any big treatment at lower cost. In general entire
body must be covered so that there can be always a back-up plan for un-wanted event.
3.3 Community Support Services
If adults are participating in the Adult Community Social Services system, they allocate a
primary health care clinician for behaviour. A staff leader addresses the mental wellbeing,
medical treatment and neighbourhood services demands of all clients (Tafese, Woldie and
Megerssa, 2013).
1. Care and how to treat psychological problems
2. Coping strategies and self-care to better control mental wellbeing and medical symptoms
3. Incorporating mental health services with hospital attention smoothly, if possible. Read
more on MultiCare Managed Systems
4. Looking to help access to MultiCare 's advanced mental health programs, including our
therapeutic adult recovery unit, Luckett House and community support services
3.4 Recommendations

body.
