Part 2: Pathopysiology

Mr. F is a 38-year-old man in overall good health who has been complaining about an aching pain in his knees when working around the house and often when simply walking. He has noticed that his knees feel “hard” and tight. His history indicates that he has always been involved in athletics and was on the college football team, but recently family responsibilities and work have not made it easy for him to exercise.

Discussion Questions

1. Relate Mr. F’s case history to the pathophysiology of osteoarthritis.

2. How do anti-inflammatory drugs and analgesics help Mr. F deal with this form of arthritis?

    a.  Why is moderate, non–weight-bearing exercise recommended?

3. What is the probable prognosis for Mr. F?

Part 3: Pathopysiology

Mr. K. is a 57-year-old man who consulted his physician after noticing marked leg pains while playing golf. He had previously noticed increasing fatigue and discomfort in his legs associated with moderate exercise. When sitting for extended periods with legs dangling, his legs became red, and sometimes his feet felt numb. His history indicates he smokes cigarettes and is chronically overweight. His blood cholesterol and other lipid levels are abnormal, and his physician suspects peripheral atherosclerosis as the cause of his discomfort.

Discussion Questions:

1. Discuss the development of atherosclerosis, including the predisposing factors in this case and the pathophysiological changes.

2. Discuss the complications that might develop in this patient. (Pathophysiology, Signs and Symptoms.)

3. Discuss the treatments for all aspects of the patient’s condition, including slowing the progress of the

atherosclerosis, maintaining circulation in the leg, and treating complications.

Kurt Lewin created change theories in nursing that consisted of three steps: unfreezing, moving and refreezing. His theory focused on the idea that to change a current process or practice, you have to freeze it, then movement can occur and a new process of refreezing once a new idea has been brought to the attention of all (Levasseur, 2001). “The first step of Lewin’s model tells us how to minimize barriers to change and increase the odds of a successful change effort” (Levasseur, 2001). Involving everyone in the change will create a more successful change process. Lewin identified 3 concepts in his change theory: driving forces, restraining forces and equilibrium. He believed “all three phases of the change process, found that workgroups participating in the introduction and design of changes in work methods produced more and had less turnover than groups that did not” (Zand, 1975). This makes for a more successful change including all members of the process. Lewin focused more on the change process and less about the psychology of society. 

     Alfred Adler was a theorist born to a large family in 1902. He experienced medical problems as a young child from the death of his brother to battling rickets. He focused his readings on psychotherapy, “to build a flourishing school that promoted an understanding of human behavior that focused on healthy relationships” (Alder, 2020). He created a theory known as the Birth Order Theory that was based on your birth orders and the personalities that you possessed. He then went to different areas of the world including Europe and the United States and taught, “Adler’s vision was to cultivate confident, community-oriented, mentally healthy individuals who could contribute to the common good” (Alder, 2020). He eventually died at the age of 67 from a heart attack. Alder differed from Lewin who focused more on communities and created value on societies. 

     To be able to implement EBP intervention, I would have to use Lewin’s theory to push for a change in current behaviors and mindsets. Creating a welcoming environment of multiple disciplinary approaches would develop interest and understanding of change.  My preceptor has not expressed any theories but we will be using ideas from both theorists listed above.

 The theory is  Parent Child Interaction Model( Barnard)

Describe the main ideas  of the theory (should include the assumptions under which the theory 

operates. Identify the main concepts/components  of the selected nursing theory

Provide a background of the theory. What was going on in the profession of nursing or in the 

American society that may have influenced the formation of the theory? 

What values, theories, evidence, and/or existing knowledge did the theorist cite as support for

the theory? 

What motivated the theorist to write the theory? 

How does the theory address the metaparadigm concepts of person, nursing, environment and health

How do you implement the components or concepts of this theory in your nursing practice.  Give an 

example.

If you talk about a possible poor health outcome, do you believe that outcome will occur? Do you believe eye contact and personal contact should be avoided?

You would have a difficult time practicing as a nurse if you believed these to be true. But they are very real beliefs in some cultures.

Differences in cultural beliefs, subcultures, religion, ethnic customs, dietary customs, language, and a host of other factors contribute to the complex environment that surrounds global healthcare issues. Failure to understand and account for these differences can create a gulf between practitioners and the public they serve.

In this Assignment, you will examine a global health issue and consider the approach to this issue by the United States and by one other country.

To Prepare:

• Review the World Health Organization’s (WHO) global health agenda and select one global health issue to focus on for this Assignment.
• Select at least one additional country to compare to the U.S. for this Assignment.
• Reflect on how the global health issue you selected is approached in the U.S. and in the additional country you selected.
• Review and download the Global Health Comparison Matrix provided in the Resources.

The Assignment: (1- to 2-page Global Health Comparison Matrix; 1-page Plan for Social Change)

Part 1: Global Health Comparison Matrix

Focusing on the country you selected and the U.S., complete the Global Health Comparison Matrix. Be sure to address the following:

• Consider the U.S. national/federal health policies that have been adapted for the global health issue you selected from the WHO global health agenda. Compare these policies to the additional country you selected for study.
• Explain the strengths and weaknesses of each policy.
• Explain how the social determinants of health may impact the global health issue you selected. Be specific and provide examples.
• Using the WHO’s Organization’s global health agenda as well as the results of your own research, analyze how each country’s government addresses cost, quality, and access to the global health issue selected.
• Explain how the health policy you selected might impact the health of the global population. Be specific and provide examples.
• Explain how the health policy you selected might impact the role of the nurse in each country.
• Explain how global health issues impact local healthcare organizations and policies in both countries. Be specific and provide examples.

Part 2: A Plan for Social Change

Reflect on the global health policy comparison and analysis you conducted in Part 1 of the Assignment and the impact that global health issues may have on the world, the U.S., your community, as well as your practice as a nurse leader.
