Question Answered step-by-step CASE STUDY Mr. TY is a 51-year-old Caucasian male scheduled for… CASE STUDY Mr. TY is a 51-year-old Caucasian male scheduled for cardiac catheterization. His risk factors for heart disease are prior congestive heart disease, transient ischemic attack involving left arm, former prolonged tobacco use, a diet high in saturated fat, hyperlipidemia, obesity, hypertension, and poorly controlled diabetes. He made some attempts at risk reduction, stopping smoking two years ago and losing 40 pounds. However, he currently enjoys eating red meat at least twice a day. A butcher, he states he has no intention of quitting because he loves meat which is high in saturated fat. Mr. TY has questions about his pending heart catheterization, though he had undergone one in 2002. He was concerned about the risks of possible new percutaneous interventions, and fearful that his disease might be too advanced for any treatment. Mr. TY is coping with his anxiety by reading his Bible and praying, talking to his family on the phone, and asking numerous questions of the staff about the procedure. His nurse assessed him as eager and motivated to learn about the cardiac catheterization procedure, but only somewhat motivated to learn about the appropriate dietary management of his heart condition. He did ask questions about what would be healthy to eat, but when he was told what an optimal diet would be, he shook his head “No” indicating that a heart heathy diet as prescribed was unacceptable. A.    Identify at least three (3) high-priority learning needs (as evidenced by need for behavioral changes, not just by knowledge deficit) for Mr. TY. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________  B.    Using the four (4) indicators of physical, emotional, experiential and knowledge readiness, contrast Mr. TY’s readiness to learn about the imminent procedure with his readiness to learn about healthy dietary changes. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Health Science Science Nursing Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
