NRS 410V - Pathophysiology and Nursing Management of Clients’ Health

Grand Canyon University-NRS410-V

 Type 2 diabetes has been on the rise in recent years among pediatric and young

adult patients.

 Obesity plays a significant role in diagnosing type 2 diabetes in the young adult.

 Poor nutrition and lack of physical activity also attribute to obesity in young

adults.

 Nurses play an important role when it comes to educating their communities on

healthy nutrition and exercise.

Description (Morgan, 2016)

Nursing Interventions:

Nurses will want to consider approaching

adolescents with obesity and diabetes

prevention through a public health approach.

This can be done in the following manner:

  • (^) Contact your community school director

and arrange for a meeting. Be sure to

provide them with the latest facts and

statistics on childhood obesity and how it

relates to type 2 diabetes. Ask them if you

can teach a class or have an assembly

where students, teachers, and parents are

present.

  • (^) Speak with the nurses at the school to hear

their approach to educating students on

obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Nursing Interventions continued:

  • (^) Contact the Parks and Recreations Department to see what physical activities are available for the community. Ask if you can hold a community wide event on obesity related to childhood diabetes.
  • (^) Contact your local legislator to see what is being done in nearby communities to combat childhood obesity and type 2 diabetes and ask what you can do to help. (Kaplan, 2016) (Oshtemo, 2016)

Conclusion:

Obesity along with type 2 diabetes in our youth is becoming more and

more prevalent everyday. Nurses play a significant role in the education

and treatment not only in our children, but our communities, schools, and

parents as well. However, no matter how much education is supplied to

our children and their families, it is up to the individuals and families

themselves to see these changes through.
