Assess each of Mr. C.’s functional health patterns using the information given (Hint: Functional health patterns include:
Health-perception – health management – Based on the information provided in the case study Mr. C has always been heavy since he was a child but has gained 100 pounds in the last 2-3 years. With the limited information and the increase weight in the last 2-3 years I can only presume that Mr. C might live a sedentary lifestyle that might be related to lack of motivation or lack of education or readiness.
Nutritional – metabolic – Mr. C is 5 feet 5 inches and weighs 295.9 pounds. According to Premier Health, Mr. C has a BMI of 47.6 and is considered morbidly obese (Premier Health, 2015). He also claims that he has gain 100 pounds in the last 2-3 years. Based on the information he falls under Nutrition, Imbalanced, More Than Body Requirements as evidenced by reported higher baseline weight.
Elimination – Mr. C has a peptic ulcer and symptoms include passing of bloody stools or black tarry stools. Possible nursing diagnoses can be constipation/diarrhea related to effects of medications on bowel function.
Activity-exercise – Mr. C has an office job and based on his increased weight of 100 pounds in the last 2-3 years lives a sedentary lifestyle. The case study does not specify if Mr. C performs any type of exercise activities but we can assume that he is able to perform activities of daily living.
Sleep-rest – Mr. C is morbidly obese and suffers from sleep apnea due to his overweight.
Cognitive-perceptual – Mr. C appears alert and oriented and able to make his needs known.
Self-perception – self-concept – Mr. C claims that he has been heavy all his life and has gained 100 pounds in the last 2-3 pounds. Mr. C is looking into bariatric surgery as a solution to his morbid weight.
Role-relationship – Based on the case study Mr. C is a single man not involved in a relationship.
Sexuality – reproductive – is a young man but the case study doesn’t offer any other information.
Coping – stress tolerance – Mr. C is able to identify that he has a problem with his weight. He is taking initiative by reducing salt intake to control his hypertension and he is looking into bariatric surgery to reduce his weight problem.
What actual or potential problems can you identify? Describe at least five problems and provide the rationale for each.
1) Health maintenance ineffective related to sedentary lifestyle (Ackley & Ladwig, 2011).
2) Imbalanced nutrition more than body requirements related to lack of basic nutritional knowledge (Ackley & Ladwig, 2011).
3) Disturbed sleep pattern related to sleep apnea (Ackley & Ladwig, 2011).
4) Deficient knowledge related to his obesity, disturbed body image by verbalization of his weight gain (Ackley & Ladwig, 2011).
5) Ineffective coping related to lack of knowledge of weight gain resources (Ackley & Ladwig, 2011).
