Health Promotion and Chronic Disease: Ruby Pascal Case Analysis Report

Utilizing the Clinical Reasoning Cycle (CRC), the report details the assessment of the patient's health determinants, including physical and mental health concerns, and identifies key health problems such as frequent anxiety attacks, worsening physical and mental health, and inability to meet health needs. The report prioritizes these problems and formulates specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals, such as reducing anxiety attacks and improving overall health. It then outlines nursing interventions, including establishing rapport, providing education, and implementing medication and exercise plans. The evaluation stage details how the goals will be measured, focusing on monitoring anxiety frequency, diabetes levels, and patient visits to healthcare providers. Furthermore, the report discusses the importance of communication with the patient and the multidisciplinary team, along with the use of long-term action plans to manage the patient's condition, including medication management, healthcare provider appointments, exercise routines, and relaxation techniques. The report concludes by emphasizing the application of theoretical knowledge into practice and highlights the importance of prioritizing patient needs and setting goals for effective health promotion.
