Clinical Care Plan for Clients with Obesity Complications
As a clinical and nursing professional, I was tasked with ensuring strict adherence to the Nursing Care Plans strictly designed for obese patients. During the practicum experience, the notable population segments served as children and young adults in the early years of career development. Obesity is a health disorder of excess accumulation of body fats. An obese patient averages above 20% of the desired body mass index.
Referrals to other Health Care and Social Support Agencies
Management of obese patients is not a single-agency or specialty obligation. Multi-agency support systems and referrals form a vital aspect of the management process. During the practicum experience, it was inevitably convenient and acceptable to make referrals and inter-agency support interventions. Some of the referrals made were nutritionist/ dietitian services, psychiatric-mental referrals, and physiotherapists.
Reason for Selecting the above Agencies
Dietary plans and discipline is a potent weapon to win the war against obesity complications. The dietitian services offer the ultimate strategy for the patient to reach compelling weight management episodes and potential reduction interventions. The best destination to determine the caloric and nutritional requirements of minors and young adults who are seriously affected by obesity disorders.
Agency Services in Discharging a Patient
Agency services such as physiotherapy and exercise instructors will form an essential aspect of post-clinical interventions. They will help continue the clinical interventions in the management and elimination of obesity among the upcoming generation.
Surveillance Databases and the Role of Nursing
The practicum exercise utilizes the surveillance databases to get the exact outcomes of the latest and previous obesity conditions. The surveillance data gives a robust foundation for preparing education programs to sensitize the sick and potentially vulnerable to obesity (Nikitara, Constantinou, et al., 2019). Nursing professionals offer the much-needed public health informatics skills to support classification, analysis, presentation, and standardization of data.
