The case study that is to be presented features a patient who has a Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Uncotrolled; Non- healing wound.
The pancreas is an elongated, tapered organ located across the back of the abdomen,
behind the stomach. The right side of the organ (called the head) is the widest part of the organ
and lies inthe curve of the duodenum (the first section of the small intestine). The tapered left
side extendsslightly upward (called the body of the pancreas) and ends near the spleen (called the
tail)Somatostatins are hormones secreted directly into the bloodstream, and together, they
regulate the level of glucose in the blood. Insulin lowers the blood sugar level and increases the
amount of glycogen (stored carbohydrate) in the liver; Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder,
specifically affecting carbohydrate metabolism. It is a disease characterized by persistent
hyperglycemia (high glucose blood sugar). It is a metabolic disease that requires medical
diagnosis, treatment and lifestyle changes. The World Health Organization recognizes three main
forms of diabetes: type 1, type 2 and gestational diabetes (or type 3, occurring during
pregnancy), although these three "types" of diabetes are more accurately considered patterns of
pancreatic failure rather than single diseases.
I as a nursing student is involved in learning what type of nursing interventions that I will
apply to this type of patient. Beyond understanding the relevant health issue, this case study will
also explore other factors that can enhance my knowledge in the field of our nursing practice.
This is also the primary reason why I choose this case study because I know that it is highly
beneficial aside from it is being considered unique.
Included with the case study are the discussions of the anatomical parts, through physical
assessment of the patient, laboratory results and their corresponding findings. Added to this I also
have a discussion of the patient’s daily activities and nursing care plans.
Self-Care Nursing Theory or the Orem Model of Nursing was developed by Dorothea Orem
between 1959 and 2001. It is considered a grand nursing theory, which means the theory covers a
broad scope with general concepts that can be applied to all instances of nursing.
Self-care Agency
Self-care agency is the human’s ability or power to engage in self-care and is affected by basic
conditioning factors.
Self-care Deficit
Self-care Deficit delineates when nursing is needed. Nursing is required when an adult (or in the
case of a dependent, the parent or guardian) is incapable of or limited in the provision of
continuous effective self-care.
Nursing Agency
Nursing Agency is a complex property or attribute of people educated and trained as nurses that
enables them to act, to know, and to help others meet their therapeutic self-care demands by
exercising or developing their own self-care agency.
Nursing System
Nursing System is the product of a series of relations between the persons: legitimate nurse and
legitimate client. This system is activated when the client’s therapeutic self-care demand exceeds
available self-care agency, leading to the need for nursing.
Theories
The Self-Care or Self-Care Deficit Theory of Nursing is composed of three interrelated theories:
(1) the theory of self-care, (2) the self-care deficit theory, and (3) the theory of nursing systems,
which is further classified into wholly compensatory, partial compensatory and supportive-
educative.
Theory of Self-care
This theory focuses on the performance or practice of activities that individuals initiate and
perform on their own behalf to maintain life, health and well-being.
Self-care Requisites
Self-care Requisites or requirements can be defined as actions directed toward the provision of
self-care. It is presented in three categories:
Universal self-care requisites are associated with life processes and the maintenance of the
integrity of human structure and functioning.
The theory of nursing systems describes how the patient's self-care needs will be met by the
nurse, the patient, or by both. Orem identifies three classifications of nursing system to meet the
self-care requisites of the patient: wholly compensatory system, partly compensatory system, and
supportive-educative system.
Orem recognized that specialized technologies are usually developed by members of the health
care industry. The theory identifies two categories of technologies.
The first is social or interpersonal. In this category, communication is adjusted to age and health
status. The nurse helps maintain interpersonal, intra-group, or inter-group relations for the
coordination of efforts. The nurse should also maintain a therapeutic relationship in light of
pscyhosocial modes of functioning in health and disease. In this category, human assistance
adapted to human needs, actions, abilities, and limitations is given by the nurse.
The second is regulatory technologies, which maintain and promote life processes. This category
regulates psycho- and physiological modes of functioning in health and disease. Nurses should
promote human growth and development, as well as regulating position and movement in space.
Orem's approach to the nursing process provides a method to determine the self-care deficits and
then to define the roles of patient or nurse to meet the self-care demands. The steps in the
approach are thought of uas the technical component of the nursing process. Orem emphasizes
that the technological component "must be coordinated with interpersonal and social pressures
within nursing situations.
The nursing process in this model has three parts. First is the assessment, which collects data to
determine the problem or concern that needs to be addressed. The next step is the diagnosis and
creation of a nursing care plan. The third and final step of the nursing process is implementation
and evaluation. The nurse sets the health care plan into motion to meet the goals set by the
patient and his or her health care team, and, when finished, evaluate the nursing care by
interpreting the results of the implementation of the plan.
V. PATIENT’S DATA
GENERAL DATA:
AGE: 45
Weight: 53 kg (116lbs)
Height: 5’1”
BMI: 22.1
CHIEF COMPLAINT:
A year prior to admission (year 2018) patient observed less sensation on his feet and felt
weakness but he did not seek medical attention immediately and no medication was taken.
5 months prior to admission (January 2019) patient had a boil on right lower leg that lasted
for 2 months. He stated that he also experienced fever. He only took medicine with mefenamic,
paracetamol and other unrecalled OTC medications, no consultation was done. He tried to
relieve the pain by rest.
A month prior to admission (April 2019)- According to the patient, there was flooding in
their area in Marikina. Accidentally, he stepped on a nail. Using a clean fabric, he applied
pressure to stop bleeding from his wound. He thought that it's just a simple wound that will heal
immediately so he didn't require hospitalization and no medication was taken. Aftet that incident
he still went back to his activities of daily living and work.
Two weeks prior to admission (May 11 2019)- patient observed that there was a swelling and
pus on the heel part of his right foot. He applied Betadine once a day with no relief. He
experienced fever so he took paracetamol and mefenamic as a pain relievers. His young brother
suggested to use the boiled leaves of bayabas to cleanse his wound. No other symptoms felt, no
consultation was done. He managed it by elevating his feet at night until it subsides.
One week prior to admission (May 28 2019)- according to the patient, he still had a fever. The
swelling and pain are getting worse. So his brothers decided to bring him in Amang Rodriguez
Hospistal for check up. Patient stated that he was prescribed antibiotics and other unrecalled
medications. He was advised to do annual check up again for follow up if he's still having a fever
after 1 week.
Four days prior to admission- (June 05 2019) The patient had difficulty of sleeping because
of pain. He had high fever that led to a febrile convulsion.
An hour prior to admission- According to the patient, pain continued to gradually increase in
severity by pain scale of 9/10 associated with fever. His brothers decided to bring him to the ER
at QMMC.
