INTEGRETED PATHOPHYSIOLOGIC CONCEPTS INSULIN, ENERGY AND THE PANCREAS
Consider the patient Situation
Tony Barrett is a newly diagnosed insulin-dependent diabetic. Tony is 14 years old, weighs 51 kg (non-obese) and has always been very active. He usually plays football at weekends and enjoys swimming. He regularly goes to the beach to surf with his friends enjoys and is a member of the local surf lifesaving club. Over the last month, Tony has been constantly thirsty and often hungry. He has been passing urine frequently and having to get up to the toilet in the night. His father became concerned when he noticed that Tony lost interest in sports and being with his friends because he was complaining of headaches and felt tired all the time.
Five days ago, Tony was reviewed by an endocrinologist and diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes
Mellitus. The endocrinologist prescribed a ‘basal-bolus’ regime of insulin consisting of Insulin aspart (Novorapid) before each meal and Insulin glargine (Lantus) flexipen before bedtime. Yesterday, Tony had a hypoglycaemic episode at school (BGL 3.0 mmol/L) and was transferred to hospital. He suffered a further hypoglycaemic episode on waking this morning but 15 minutes after drinking ½ cup of fruit juice his BGL was 4.4 mmol/L. Tony and his family are anxious to learn how to manage his blood glucose levels (BGLs) before he is discharged home.
Section 1 – Pathophysiologic and pharmacologic concepts
Collect information: Pathophysiology
Q1. Outline the pathophysiology of type I (Insulin –dependent) diabetes.
Process information: Pharmacologic concepts in glycaemic management
Q2. What specific information do Tony and his family need to know about insulin absorption in order to manage the insulin regime at home? Discuss your answer in relation to:
a) The ‘Time-course of formulations’ of insulin and the effect on absorption of insulin
b) The appearance of different types of insulins
c) The principles underpinning a ‘basal-bolus’ regime of insulin
d) The practical skills and knowledge Tony needs to self-administer insulin
INTEGRATED PATHOPHYSIOLOGIC CONCEPTS INSULIN, ENERGY AND THE PANCREAS
Q3. From your knowledge of pharmacodynamics, explain how insulin works to reduce blood glucose level.
Q4. Identify 3 objective tests that may be used to assess Tony’s current glycaemic status ie. how would you know if Tony was stable or unstable?
Section 2 – Decision-making
Synthesise the information
Q5. Examine the information that you have about Tony’s presentation to hospital and identify two possible nursing diagnoses from the following options. Tony has:
a) hypoglycaemia possibly related to excessive carbohydrate intake
b) hyperglycaemia possibly related to inadequate carbohydrate intake
c) hyperglycaemia possibly related to excessive carbohydrate intake
d) hypoglycaemia possibly related to inadequate carbohydrate intake
e) hypoglycaemia possibly related to inadequate insulin administration
f) hypoglycaemia possibly related to inappropriate insulin administration
Establish goals
Q6. Before initiating any actions, it is important to be clear about your goals for Tony.
(i) What goal would you set regarding Tony’s Blood Glucose Levels (BGLs)?
(ii) What goals would you set regarding Tony’s knowledge deficit?
Take action
Q7. What are your nursing actions in the event that Tony is found to be:
(a) hypoglycaemic (BGL 3.5mmol/L) and conscious?
(b) hypoglycaemic (BGL 3.5mmol/L) and unconscious/altered consciousness?
Give a rationale for your clinical decisions and actions in Q7a and Q7b.
INTEGRATED PATHOPHYSIOLOGIC CONCEPTS INSULIN, ENERGY AND THE PANCREAS
Section 3 – Professional standards
Q8. Choose 2 ethical value statements and 2 standards for practice that will guide your nursing care of Tony and his family whilst in hospital and/or in discharge planning activities. Give examples of how the 2 value statements and the 2 standards apply to this case.
Q9. The central principles of social justice in the health care context are self-determination, equity, access and rights and, participation. Health professionals have an ethical obligation to ensure that patients are treated fairly. Discuss how psycho-social factors in Tony’s life might impact on how he participates in his own health care (including medication adherence), and interacts with health professionals?
Q10. Write down what actions will you take in your future practice because of what have learned from this scenario?
Section 4 – Conveys scientific information
Check your answers and ensure that you have used professional language throughout your assignment. Proof read for logical structure, accuracy and clarity.
Section 5 – Sources of evidence
There are 2 parts to section 5 of the marking criteria: (i) ensure that you have examined academic sources of information and used them in support of all your answers. Avoid websites designed for patient information and check that any websites you do use are directed towards health professionals, and are current and peer reviewed (ii) ensure that you have a minimum of 8 references.

Assessment details
Details
You are required to develop a project ( help with nursing paper writing from experts with MSN & DNP degrees) evaluation report based on a case study provided on Canvas. Your project ( help with nursing paper writing from experts with MSN & DNP degrees)
evaluation report will answer four specific questions which are provided with the case study. The project ( help with nursing paper writing from experts with MSN & DNP degrees)
evaluation report is an opportunity for you to demonstrate what you have learned during the semester about
project ( help with nursing paper writing from experts with MSN & DNP degrees) management. You have to write an evaluation report for a project ( help with nursing paper writing from experts with MSN & DNP degrees) based on a case study on Canvas. In your report evaluating the project ( help with nursing paper writing from experts with MSN & DNP degrees), you will answer four questions that come with the case study. The project ( help with nursing paper writing from experts with MSN & DNP degrees) evaluation report is your chance to show what you’ve learned about the project ( help with nursing paper writing from experts with MSN & DNP degrees) over the course of the semester.
project ( help with nursing paper writing from experts with MSN & DNP degrees) management.
You should answer each question in a logical way and use references from books and academic journals.
You should present your answer to each question logically and use references from academic journals and books
to substantiate key points. You should cite at least 3 different references in each answer using the RMIT
Harvard/Business format. We would like you to demonstrate independent research into project ( help with nursing paper writing from experts with MSN & DNP degrees) management
concepts. Thus, the references provided in the summary case study and the course text are not included in the
minimum 3 references required for each answer. You may cite them, but your answers should focus on project ( help with nursing paper writing from experts with MSN & DNP degrees)
management concepts, practice and evidence-based solutions that respond to the question rather than a detailed
description of issues evident in the case. The requirement to use three project ( help with nursing paper writing from experts with MSN & DNP degrees) management references beyond
those provided with the case and the course text is noted as 3 new references in the assessment rubric.
The assessment criteria noted in the rubric specifies originality. This means you must avoid over reliance on
quotations in your answer. You are encouraged to paraphrase sources wherever possible and to compare and
contrast sources to demonstrate critical analysis of the issues.
Some of the answers are matters of opinion and you will need to study the literature for ways to approach them.
To support your answer, you can refer to project ( help with nursing paper writing from experts with MSN & DNP degrees) management books, PMBOK, peer reviewed journal articles and
authenticated sources.
This assignment must be presented in a word document containing 4 numbered sections. The section number
should correspond to the question being answered. E.g. 1-4. You must also include a RMIT Harvard/Business
format reference list at the close of your submission. No title sheet, introduction, conclusion or executive summary
is required. You just need to answer the four questions and include a reference list.
Submit your report via the Turnitin submission point on Canvas. It is your responsibility to ensure your report has
a satisfactory Turnitin result when you submit. This means you should submit early to allow time to read, interpret
results, and to fix any issues that are evident. Usually, it should record a matching score of less than 20%. We are
using a common set of questions so in some circumstances a higher score may be acceptable providing only
common elements are highlighted (e.g. Section headings/name of the case).
Where whole sentences or significant portions of sentences are highlighted, try to paraphrase to reduce similarity
when resubmitting your report. Do not copy and paste the case summary, case study report or case references
without citing sources in accordance with the RMIT Harvard/Business format. When you refer to the case, ensure
you cite the relevant source. All text copied from a source must appear in quotation marks with a citation. All
paraphrased text based on a source must include a relevant citation to demonstrate your research.
A whole list of references being highlighted as coming from a single source is also problematic whereas a multi
coloured reference list is usually OK. Familiarise yourself with how to use Turnitin to check the originality of your
submission via the Turnitin submission point on Canvas. Make sure you check your work well in advance of the
submission due date. Always ask your tutor if you are concerned about Turnitin results.
Only upload one word file containing your report. Do not upload or include a cover sheet in your submission. It is
not necessary as uploading to Turnitin indicates your agreement to the terms of assessment submission.
