...Nutrition and Exercise and Their Effects on Obesity Management Roland Colburn AHS 401 Literature review Dr. Elder Abstract This study was important because it addressed the issues of obesity and what can be carried out to prevent it. Obesity has become cone of the nations most widespread epidemics and it continues to grow. In this study 20 peer-reviewed articles were chosen on obesity and nutrition, and then the articles were analyzed and broken down into a basic concept of obesity prevention. Most articles contained proper nutrition, exercise, and dietary guidance. After thorough research, it became evident that proper nutrition and exercise were basic necessities in combating the obesity epidemic. Introduction Obesity is one of the leading public concerns within the United States, and for a great reason, almost two-thirds of the population is either overweight or obese, and the numbers are continuously rising.(Carels et al. 2008). Obesity has been linked to many different health issues, including the number one killer in America, heart disease. Obesity has been a growing problem over the past few years, which has led many to try and reduce or reverse the incline in obesity. The programs implemented, as of late, to reduce the number considered obese have failed.(Crombie 1999). American society continues to grow in the obesity rates, which has in turn generated an increase...

...the number of people globally who were malnourished stood at 923 million in 2007, an increase of over 80 million since the 1990-92 base period. In 2006, more than 36 million people died of hunger or diseases due to deficiencies in micronutrients; accounted for 58% of the total mortality in the same year. Under nutrition contributes to almost 35% of the estimated 7.6 million deaths under-5 deaths; consequently affecting the future health and socioeconomic development and productive potential of the society. The malnourished are unable to live a normal life, are less likely to fulfill their potential as human beings and cannot contribute fully to the development of their own countries. Nutrition is the provision of adequate energy and nutrients (in terms of amount and mix and timelines) to the cells for them to perform their physiological function of (growth, reproduction, defence, repair e.t.c). The World Health Organization defines malnutrition as "the cellular imbalance between supply of nutrients & energy and the body's demand for them to ensure growth, maintenance, and specific functions”. Malnutrition comprises both; Under nutrition and Over nutrition The World Health Organization (WHO) says that malnutrition is by far the largest contributor to child mortality globally, currently present in 45 percent of all cases. Underweight births and inter-uterine growth restrictions are responsible for about 2.2 million child deaths annually in the world. Deficiencies in...

Cultural, religious, ethnic, and personal upbringings are variables that are considered to gain a basic understanding of the community framework. The purpose of this paper is to discuss three nursing diagnoses related to AL and his family living in a suburban community in Staten Island, New York. Interventions and outcomes will be expected for each diagnosis and will be integrated into the care plan and educational program specially designed for the chosen family. Family Assessment AL is a 65 year old man with an Italian ethnic background. He is a smoker who has been recently diagnosed with Type II Diabetes Mellitus, mild obesity, and a history of coronary artery disease with one stent last year. His physician stated he is borderline diabetic that could be managed through diet and lifestyle modifications, and could not advance if he is compliant with suggested regimens. He lives in a two-family residence with his wife, and his father who lives in the side apartment downstairs. He has two adult children who live within close range and visit several times a week.

...not only patients, but communities, families, and other healthcare professionals to promote a healthy lifestyle and high quality life for all of those involved. This literature review will describe health promotion, its meaning for nurses, and describe the health promotion levels. Definition of Health Promotion The W.H.O. describes health promotion as “Health promotion is the process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve, their health. It moves beyond a focus on individual behaviour towards a wide range of social and environmental interventions.” (WHO,2014). Health promotion is described by Edelman, Kudzma, & Mandle as “The science and art of helping people change their lifestyle to move toward a state of optimal health. The process of advocating health to enhance the probability that person (individual, family, and community), private (professional and business), and public (federal, state, and local government) support of positive health practices will become a societal norm” (Edelman, Kudzma, & Mandle, 2014, Glossary). Health Promotion Purpose The health promotion intent vastly does beyond giving information for a healthier lifestyle. Health promotion focuses on proactive decision-making for all, with specifics to meet the needs of all backgrounds. Nurses work alongside other healthcare team members to meet patients’ needs. It is essential to incorporate patient participation and compliance. “Individuals, families, and communities must be active participants...

...associated with food and caring. The giving of food is often considered to represent compassion in the minds of most people. It is not surprising that the issue of withholding artificial hydration and nutrition is such a heavily debated topic. To make a more informed decision, patients and/or family members need to be educated about the benefits, legal, and ethical considerations of dehydration in the terminally ill patient. Literature supports that forced hydration during the end of life is of little benefit and may actually worsen a patient’s condition. Dehydration in the terminally ill can be a very therapeutic treatment. The deterioration of the terminally ill patient coincides with no longer having the ability to take oral fluids or nutrition. Dehydration is usually characterized by thirst, dry mouth, decreased skin turgor, decreased urinary output, and electrolyte imbalance. However, not all patients who are terminally ill and not medically hydrated exhibit these signs and symptoms (Vaz, 2010, p.1). This suggests that dehydration in the terminally ill is different than in the acutely ill patient. Dehydration has potential benefits for the end-of-life (EOL) patient. Benefits of dehydration in the terminally ill include perhaps, the most important issue to families, patients, and caregivers concerning the dying patient which is comfort. Dehydration is often incorrectly considered painful. Printz (1992) reported that “patients in end-stage dehydration experience...

...Running head: FAMILY HEALTH ASSESSMENT Family Health Assessment Thresiamma John Grand Canyon University Family-Centered Health Promotion NRS-429V Stout, Kimberly March 11 2012 Family Health Assessment Introduction A comprehensive family assessment provides a foundation to promote family health (Edelman & Mandle, 2011). 1987 Marjorie Gordon purposed 11 functional health patterns to use for guidance in order to facilitate nurses to have a frame work for the family assessment in. Gordon’s 11 functional health patterns help organizes basic family assessment information. This standardized format will guide nurses to complete the family assessment using system approaches, which will identify a patient’s developmental stages and risk factors. Once the functional and dysfunctional behaviors are identified for an individual or within the family history, planning begins in order to achieve the goal with the nurse and the family involved. This will help nurses to create interventions to modify influencing factors to promote positive changes. The 11 functional health patterns are health perceptions and health management, nutrition and elimination, activity and exercises, sleep and rest, cognitive and self perception, role and relationship, sexuality and reproduction, coping stress, value and belief (Koshar, n.d.). Nursing diagnosis and assess these 11 functional health patterns. This paper will discuss the 11 functional health pattern assessments and how it...

The purpose of this integrative review was to describe the relationship between diabetes self-management and metabolic control in youth with type 1 diabetes and to explore factors which affect this relationship. Background. In the past 15 years, research has indicated that youth with type 1 diabetes face considerable self-management challenges and are at increased risk for poor metabolic control. To enhance the development of behavioral interventions for youth with type 1 diabetes, the relationship between diabetes self-management and metabolic control needs to be more clearly elucidated. Data Sources. Research studies that examined the relationship between diabetes self-management and metabolic control in youth with type 1 diabetes were included (n = 18).
