Client Health Promotion
Mr. Y., a 42-year-old Asian-American, presented to a healthcare facility for a regular check-up. He had no significant complaints other than what he described as usual fatigue after going up the stairs from the ground flow to the second floor of his apartment. Subjective information indicates a positive history of diabetes for his grandfather and mother. His father had a positive diagnosis of high blood pressure. Objective measurements revealed he was obese with a body mass index (BMI) of 32 kg/m2. Other tests revealed a fasting glucose of 104 mg/dl, his blood pressure was 139/90 mm/Hg, while his low-density lipoproteins and high-density lipoproteins were 165 mg/dl and 33 mg/dl, respectively. Visual assessment illustrates the patient has significant central deposition around the waist area. He also confessed that he has a fad for fast food, takes several beers daily, and rarely engages in any physical activities because he spends most of his time in the office as an accountant for an international corporation.
The collected clinical data reveals that Mr. Y.’s lifestyle exposes him to risks of lifestyle diseases that could lead to diminished wellness. Different aspects of the information collected by the healthcare professional illustrate his vulnerability to prediabetes and likely progression to type II diabetes unless he complies with a strict health promotion plan. For instance, the patient satisfies the age bracket of 40 years and above, which Al Mansour (2020) describes as a significant risk factor for developing diseases compared to younger individuals. Moreover, the author indicates that risks for diabetes are comparatively higher among individuals taking fatty foods regularly. Mr. Y.’s practice of consuming fast foods increases his risk for such a health outcome, flagging the quality of his food environment. Other glaring risk factors for this disease include a positive family history indicating that his genetic makeup increases his likelihood of developing the condition (Lailler et al., 2023). The patient’s BMI further reveals that he is obese, raising concern due to the visible central deposition (Schnurr et al., 2020). Besides these risk factors, Mr. Y. has a worrying lifestyle that includes alcohol intake and minimal exercise (Lailler et al., 2023; Magkos et al., 2020). As a result, these aspects increase his vulnerability to disease development.
Mr. Y.’s status reveals that he is in the prediabetes stage, which presents a window for him to change his lifestyle and reduce the likelihood of his condition progressing to a diabetes type II diagnosis. In this context, a health promotion plan tailored to his needs would gradually assist him in improving his objective data, including the BMI, cholesterol values, and blood...
