Case: A family brings their 10-year-old to the pediatrician for a well-child visit. The pediatrician is concerned about the child’s weight and sits down to discuss this with the family. The child is overweight with high blood pressure for his age. The pediatrician prescribes a low-fat diet and makes some dietary suggestions for increases in physical activity. When they return in 6 months, there are no changes made to the child’s weight, eating habits, and physical activity.

Prompt: Use the principles of the health belief model to argue what may have been some barriers to following provider recommendations in the selected case. Then provide some strategies to facilitate health promotional and illness prevention practices in the select case.

Daniel is being transferred to a telemetry unit for iv fluid therapy, H and H monitoring, and analgesic administration. You prepare to call report to Theresa, RN. You review Daniel’s most recent labs and presenting symptoms. Daniel’s oxygenation has improved with 2L NC and is now at 98%. His BP is elevated, and his pain is uncontrolled. He received 2mg Iv morphine x1 dose. His pain score is now 6/10. He has an 18g left upper arm peripheral IV with Nacl 0.9% infusing at 150 ml/hr. He is lethargic but opens his eyes spontaneously.
