Assessment Description

This is a Collaborative Learning Community (CLC) assignment.

As a group, identify a research or evidence-based article published within the last 5 years that focuses comprehensively on a specific intervention or new treatment tool for the management of diabetes in adults or children. The article must be relevant to nursing practice.

Create a 12-15 slide PowerPoint presentation (not including the title page and references) on the study’s findings and how they can be used by nurses as an intervention. Include speaker notes for each slide and additional slides for the title page and references.

Include the following:

1. Describe the intervention or treatment tool and the specific patient population used in the article.
2. Summarize the main idea of the research findings for the specific patient population. The research presented must include clinical findings that are current, thorough, and relevant to diabetes and nursing practice.
3. Provide a description of how the treatment tool or intervention can be integrated into nursing practice. Provide evidence to support your discussion. Reflect how the  treatment tool or intervention will affect nursing practice and the disease process.
4. Explain why psychological, cultural, and spiritual aspects are important to consider for a patient who has been diagnosed with diabetes. Describe how support can be offered in these respective areas as part of a plan of care for the patient. Provide examples.

You are required to cite a minimum of three sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and relevant to nursing practice.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. A link to the LopesWrite technical support articles is located in Class Resources if you need assistance.

This article talks about managing diabetes with deep learning and natural learning processes. It is relevant to nursing practice because nurses can teach patients and provide resources.

Introduction

Osteoporosis is a disease that causes your bones to become weak and fragile. It’s one of the most common diseases in older adults, occurring in 80% of women over 65 and 40% of men. Osteoporosis affects more than 10 million people in the United States alone; however, many people don’t know much about this condition or how it can affect their lives.

Osteoporosis is a chronic disease characterized by low bone mass, which leads to fragility and increased risk of fracture.

Osteoporosis is a chronic disease characterized by low bone mass, which leads to fragility and increased risk of fracture. Osteoporosis affects one out of three women and one out of two men over the age of 50. The most common symptoms include back pain and aching muscles, especially in the lower back, hips and legs.

It’s important for you to understand that osteoporosis can be prevented with good nutrition and physical activity as well as medication when needed.

Nonmodifiable risk factors for osteoporosis include age, ethnicity and gender.

Nonmodifiable risk factors for osteoporosis include age, ethnicity and gender.

A person’s age is not necessarily a predictor of osteoporosis but it does increase the chances that they will have the disease. As people get older, their bones become more fragile and less able to withstand repeated trauma from daily life activities such as lifting heavy objects or standing up from sitting position for long periods of time. This can lead to pain in their bones if they are exposed to repetitive stress on a daily basis over many years (1).

The ethnicity of an individual also plays a role in their likelihood of developing osteoporosis later in life; however, this has been shown only when combined with other factors such as family history or genetic predisposition toward low bone mass among others (2). For example: African-Americans tend not carry on average greater risk compared too white Americans because there may be other reasons why blacks develop fractures at younger ages than whites do (3).

Modifiable risk factors for osteoporosis include nutrition, exercise and weight loss.

• Nutrition:
• Eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals.
• Drink plenty of water to keep your body hydrated, which helps prevent bone loss.

This disease is often preventable with proper weight management and good nutrition

Weight management is the most important modifiable risk factor for osteoporosis. The American diet has become increasingly high in fats, saturated fat and sodium as well as low in fruits and vegetables which can lead to obesity. Obese women are at greater risk for developing osteoporosis than those with a normal body weight or underweight.

As discussed above, weight loss can reduce the risk of osteoporosis by decreasing body mass index (BMI) and promoting bone strength through increased lean muscle mass. However, even if you achieve a modest amount of weight loss (1-2 pounds per week), your bones will not be stronger when you stop losing weight because they have been weakened by excessive amounts of stress placed on them during periods of rapid growth or rapid decline in caloric intake due to illness or injury

Conclusion

Osteoporosis is a common disease and can be prevented with proper weight management and good nutrition.
