II. NURSING HEALTH HISTORY

A. HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS
1. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS AND INCLUSIVE DATES
a. UTI
The patient's present Illnesses are UTI, Chronic Hypertension Vascular Disease,
Obese II, and Diabetes Mellitus. The UTI signs and symptoms for bladder
infection include pain or burning while urinating, having frequent urination,
bloody urine, having the urge to urinate even though your bladder is empty,

FIRST SEMESTER
A.Y. 2021-2022
experiencing pressure, or cramping. In kidney infection having a fever, chills,

vomiting, nausea, and back discomfort in the lower back or on the side of your
back. The patient having UTI will be undergoing a Urinalysis test and we will look
for red blood cells, white blood cells, and bacteria in the urine. The presence of
white and red blood cells in your urine can suggest the presence of an illness. For
its inclusive date, the urinalysis was ordered December 1, 2021 and the results
were also given the same day. All components are within normal range in
accordance with the reference values except for the client’s High Pus cells which
is 56.5/ uL. A Normal Pus Cells ranges from 0 to 17/ uL
b. CHRONIC HYPERTENSION VASCULAR DISEASE

For the most part, high blood pressure has no warning signs or symptoms, and
many people are unaware that they have it. (The only method to tell if you have
high blood pressure is to take your blood pressure.) Upon admission, December 1,
2021, the client’s vital signs were taken and monitored. The client’s blood pressure
elevated December 2, 2021 which was 140/80 indicating hypertension.
c. OBESE II
Obesity symptoms can have a negative impact on one's daily life. Symptoms are
accumulation of excess body fat, particularly around the waist, breathing problems,
sweating a lot more than usual, Skin difficulties caused by moisture accumulating
in the folds of the skin, difficulty sleeping, inability to accomplish simple physical
chores that one could easily perform prior to weight increase, fatigue ranging from
mild to severe, and pain, particularly in the back and joints. Upon admission,
December 1, 2021, the height, and weight of the patient was documented. As for
the client’s BMI, it is 56.7, indicating her weight is in the obese category for adults
in her height range. Obese ranges from 30.0 and above.

FIRST SEMESTER
A.Y. 2021-2022
d. DM (DIABETES MELLITUS)
Some people only have a few symptoms, whereas other people have no symptoms
and are unaware that they have the condition. Signs and symptoms are frequent
urination, Excessive thirst, unexplained weight loss, extreme hunger, sudden
visual changes, tingling or numbness in the hands or feet, more infection than
usual, dry skin, and, last but not least, a constant feeling of exhaustion. Overt
Diabetes Mellitus has been an existing illness of the client for five years. A
Capillary Blood Glucose Test was ordered December 2, 2021 and results were
given the same day. The client’s blood glucose is within normal range if it is solely
based on the blood glucose range (Mathew & Prasanna Tadi, 2021).
2. PRECIPITATING AND ALLEVIATING FACTORS

a. UTI
For UTI risk factors specific to women include a woman's urethra is shorter than a
man's, reducing the distance bacteria must travel to reach the bladder. UTIs are
more common in sexually active women than in non-sexually active women.
Having a new sexual partner raises your risk as well. Women who use diaphragms
for birth control, as well as those who use spermicidal drugs, may be at a higher
risk. Menopause. A decrease in circulating estrogen after menopause causes
abnormalities in the urinary tract, making you more susceptible to infection.
B. CHRONIS HYPERTENSION VASCULAR DISEASE

Here are the factors for chronic hypertension vascular disease include as you
become older, your chances of developing high blood pressure increase. History
of the family. High blood pressure is a condition that tends to run in families.
Obesity is being overweight. Being inactive physically, you are consuming too

FIRST SEMESTER
A.Y. 2021-2022
much salt (sodium) in your diet, potassium deficiency in the diet. And having
certain chronic illnesses.
c. OBESE II
In Obese II the greater the number of risk factors, the more likely you are to get
the disease or health problem. If you're obese and have these risk factors, you're
more likely to develop health problems like heart disease, stroke, and kidney
disease: having a family member under the age of 50 with heart disease, being
physically inactive or leading a sedentary lifestyle, and smoking or using tobacco
products of any kind.
Risk factors that increase your Diabetes Mellitus fat distribution, inactivity, family
history, race and ethnicity, blood lipid levels, pre-diabetes, pregnancy-related risk
if you had gestational diabetes while pregnant or gave birth to a kid weighing more
than 9 pounds, you're more likely to develop type 2 diabetes (4 kilograms)., and
polycystic ovary syndrome are all major risk factors, irregular menstruation cycles,
excessive hair growth, and obesity are all symptoms of PCOS, which raises the
risk of diabetes. Darkened skin, generally in the armpits and neck, because this
condition is associated with insulin resistance.
3. EFFECT TO OTHER BODY PARTS/FUNCTION

a. UTI
UTI’s are usually caused when unwanted bacteria enter through the urethra and
begins to multiply. A common symptom is an overwhelming burning sensation
while urinating. Cloudy or bloody urine, along with abnormal frequency, is another
symptom. A foul smell can be associated also with the infection. Feeling tired or

FIRST SEMESTER
A.Y. 2021-2022
sluggish with slight fever marks and unusual bodily occurrence should be looked
at. Someone who is older could experience only uneasiness due to age. Lower
back pain and abdomen is a sign of infection. If any of these symptoms occur, a
person should consult a physician immediately (Zieve, 2011). When the upper
urinary tract is involved and/or the severity of the infection is more pronounced,
more generalized symptoms such as fever, chills, nausea, vomiting and abdominal
and back pain may appear. (Morrison, 2021).
b. CHRONIC HYPERTENSION VASCULAR DISEASE

High blood pressure (hypertension) can quietly damage your body for years before
symptoms develop (Mayo Clinic, 2019). Hypertension gradually increases the
pressure of blood flowing through your arteries. As a result, the client may have
damaged and narrowed arteries, aneurysm, Coronary artery disease, Enlarged left
heart, Transient ischemic attack (TIA), Stroke, Dementia, Kidney failure, Damage
to your retina (retinopathy) and Sexual dysfunction. (Mayo Clinic, 2019)
c. OBESE II
Obesity can damage and affect normal bodily functions. Any extra weight is
definitely going to add stain to various organs and cause an adverse impact. Some
of these are Diabetes, Polycystic ovarian syndrome, Gastro-esophageal reflux
disease, Erectile dysfunction , Urinary incontinence, Cellulitis, Stroke , Congestive
heart failure, Pulmonary embolism. (Sabeeka Lambe, 2017)
Diabetes Mellitus can damage and affect normal bodily functions.Risk of
stroke, loss of consciousness, extreme thirst, visual disturbances, sweet-smelling
breath, cataracts and glaucoma, risk of heart disease, risk of infections, fatigue and

FIRST SEMESTER
A.Y. 2021-2022
lack of energy, high blood pressure, pancreas malfunction, gastroparesis, excessive

urination, protein in the urine, damaged blood vessels, ketoacidosis, nerve damage,
dry, cracked skin, foot problems are some of the various effects in a person with
diabetes mellitus. (Pietrangelo, 2021)
4. INTERVENTION/ TREATMENT DONE

a. UTI
When it comes to urinary tract infections, antibiotics are usually a first line of
protection. The drugs provided and how long they are administered are determined
by your health state and the type of bacteria discovered in your urine. (Mayo Clinic,
2021) Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim, Septra, others), Fosfomycin
(Monurol), Nitrofurantoin (Macrodantin, Macrobid), Cephalexin (Keflex),
Ceftriaxone. Those are some of the most regularly prescribed medications and
treatments for UTI.
B. CHRONIC HYPERTENSION VASCULAR DISEASE

High blood pressure can be controlled and managed by altering your lifestyle. The
treatment for Chronic Hypertension Vascular Disease that you make lifestyle
changes try the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet, which
emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, chicken, fish, and low-fat dairy foods,
is a good place to start. Potassium is a mineral that can help prevent and control
high blood pressure. (Mayo Clinic, 2021) Eating a low-salt, heart-healthy diet,
Physical activity on a regular basis, maintaining a healthy weight or, if overweight
or obese, reducing weight, and keeping your alcohol consumption to a minimum.
However, lifestyle adjustments aren't always sufficient. If diet and exercise don't
work, your doctor may prescribe blood pressure medication.

FIRST SEMESTER
A.Y. 2021-2022
c. OBESE II
Losing weight through healthy eating, increasing physical activity, and
making other lifestyle changes are all common treatments for overweight and
obesity. Some people may benefit from weight-management programs in order to
lose weight or avoid regaining it. Some obese persons are either unable to drop
enough weight to enhance their health or are unable to maintain their weight loss.
For the treatments of DM this involves blood glucose monitoring, nutritional
management, physical activity maintenance, weight and stress management, oral
medication monitoring, and, if necessary, insulin injections or pump use. It allows
patients to make more consistent and suitable therapeutic and lifestyle changes.
5. EFFECT OF INTERVENTION/TREATMENT
a. UTI
According to (CDC, 2021), UTIs are common infections that happen when
bacteria, often from the skin or rectum, enter the urethra, and infect the urinary
tract. The infections can affect several parts of the urinary tract, but the most
common type is a bladder infection (cystitis). When it comes to UTI treatment, the
use of analgesic such as paracetamol would help to alleviate or ease the UTI-
associated pain. Also, cefuroxime is usually prescribed by the physician after the
delivery of the patient, cefuroxime would likely help to treat infection.
b. OBESE II
The drugs prescribe by the physician doesn’t have any effects on the patient’s
obesity.

FIRST SEMESTER
A.Y. 2021-2022
C. CHRONIC HYPERTENSION VASCULAR DISEASE

The drugs prescribe to the patient doesn’t have any effect to the patient’s Chronic
Hypertension Vascular Disease.
The drugs prescribe to the patient have no effect because the drugs are for pain
reliever. Note that the patient can take antibiotics but it increases the risk of having
an infection such as Urinary Tract Infection (Campbell et al., n.d.).
B. PAST HEALTH HISTORY

For the Past Health History of Mrs. Johanna Agustin, she has complete immunizations which are
Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Polio, TDAP (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis), Pneumonia, Typhoid,
Cholera, Measles, Influenza, Yellow fever, Japanese Encephalitis, (MMR) Mumps and Rubella,
Chickenpox, Rabies, Meningitis, Shingles. She has no childhood illnesses, and for the Past
Illnesses she has had Overt DM (Diabetes Mellitus) for 5 years, latest HbA1c 5.1 was done last
May, CBG 103, on detemir (long acting insulin) 15-0-15 units. On light low salt, low fat, and DM
diet doctor advised to shift insulin to Humalog (insulin lispro) but has not complied. There is no
heredofamilial disease in their family, she has no experience with accidents and injuries as well as
surgical procedures. She didn’t travel locally and abroad. And the recent hospitalization is last
November 11, 2021.
C. OB HISTORY
The 37-year-old female patient is scored as G1P1 T1P0A0L1, as the single baby was delivered
alive at 38 weeks and 6 days, the client’s baby was cephalic in delivery in a failed induction of
labor. The birthweight of the client’s baby is 3470g which is above the 90th percentile for
gestational age with an APGAR score of 9/10. Client’s last menstrual period was March 4, 2021.
Upon calculation, the client’s age of gestation by her last menstrual period was 37 weeks and 5

FIRST SEMESTER
A.Y. 2021-2022
days. As for the client’s expected delivery date the calculated delivery date was December 9, 2021
but the baby was delivered December 2, 2021 through low segment caesarian section 1 –
Pfannenstiel (intrapartum) under combined spinal and epidural anesthesia converted to general –
orotracheal intubation.
D. FAMILY HEALTH HISTORY (GENOGRAM WITH LEGEND)
In both families, Diabetes Mellitus and Hypertension are common comorbidities, as seen in the
graph. Evidently, patient Johanna Garcia’s mother has Diabetes Mellitus and has Hypertension.
Patient Johanna Garcia got her diabetic and hypertensive genes from her mother, and now, she
also has Diabetes Mellitus and Hypertension. Mark John A., the husband of patient Johanna A.,
has a father who has Chronic Hypertension Vascular Disease, and Obese comorbidity, and it is
passed to Mark John A. Though, there is a high chance that their son may inherit the Chronic

FIRST SEMESTER
A.Y. 2021-2022
Hypertension Vascular Disease and Obese so that the genetic comorbidity is a condition that can
be passed down across generations. Johanna and her parents they’ve been taking their prescriptions
for many years now, and their health and condition are not in the best of shape, and this is also the
reason why they have been consulting various doctors.
III. GORDON'S HEALTH ASSESSMENT

1. HEALTH PERCEPTION AND HEALTH MANAGEMENT PATTERN
Findings: Due to her unhealthy lifestyle, the client has rated her health as a three out of 10
since the quarantine began. A healthy person, according to her, is someone who consumes
good foods, drinks enough water, exercises frequently, and is free of medical ailments.
Despite this, she is unable to live a healthy lifestyle due to various circumstances such as
stress, poor eating habits, personal issues, and a variety of other commitments. Her
underlying health issues, such as Diabetes Mellitus, Chronic Hypertensive, Vascular
Disease, Obesity, and Urinary Tract Infection, stress her out and get in the way of her
everyday life. She has been preserving her health for the last several months by taking many
drugs for her Diabetes Mellitus, including Insulin Levemir. She is taking Losartan for her
hypertension. Finally, she is currently on a low salt and low-fat diet to cure her UTI. She
does not use any tobacco products or illicit drugs.
Furthermore, she leads a sedentary lifestyle and is physically inactive due to a lack of time
and drive. She does not undergo regular exams since the epidemic prevents them from going
outdoors, particularly to hospitals and clinics. Her primary health issue has been fatigue
since the start of quarantine. More significantly, she claims to be unconcerned about getting
medical attention since she has done so in the past. During her health assessment on the day
of admission, she reported minimal contraction discomfort.

FIRST SEMESTER
A.Y. 2021-2022
Analysis: Health perception and health management patterns describe how the client
perceives health and well-being patterns. In the statement above, the client, guided by the
explanation provided by the nurse, stated a numerical rating of her health perception and its
accompanying reasons (Health Status, Health Perception, 2009). She also stated her
definition of a healthy individual. Further, it also discloses how health is being managed.
Health behaviours can be defined as activities done to maintain, achieve, or regain good
health and prevent disease. They are an essential factor that shapes and directly affects
health, which may be positive or negative. The client's health habits reveal her lifestyle
choices.
Additionally, the health beliefs of the client's family influence the client's health perception.
The family's judgment regarding health care behaviours, prevention, and adherence to
proper management of health and illness problems affect the health practices of the client.
Regular physical activity, adequate sleep, a balanced diet, vaccinations, and proper stress
management are some of the positive health behaviours. As for the minimal pain due to
contraction, the patient is experiencing, and it is called laboring, early signs of laboring.
According to the Web MD, labor refers to your body's natural birthing process. It begins
with your first regular contractions and continues until the birth of your baby and placenta
(2004).
Interpretation: Deviation from Normal
2. COGNITIVE – PERCEPTUAL PATTERN

Findings: The client reported no impairments in her five senses, including sight, taste,
hearing, and smell. Furthermore, the customer is capable of comprehending a wide range
of ideas, concepts, and patterns, particularly those relevant to her career as a Pharmacist. In
this regard, the client is an aural and visual learner. Furthermore, the customer has no

FIRST SEMESTER
A.Y. 2021-2022
problems with memory or knowledge retention. She described her exhaustion as being
overworked and often exhausted from juggling many jobs. These repetitious daily duties
physically and psychologically drained her, and she lacked the stamina to complete all of
the responsibilities. According to the client, she does not yet feel excited or interested in
completing her tasks; instead, she feels forced to carry out her obligations without a feeling
of purpose. She often takes brief rests in between jobs to relieve herself of her persistent
exhaustion.
Analysis: The client exhibits a sharp sense of sight, taste, hearing, smell, and touch. Also,
the client can process and retain data and communicate information to receivers. Moreover,
the shift from face-to-face duties to an online setting dramatically affects the lifestyle of the
workers and students, including the client. Work-life balance is not correctly carried out,
which escalates stress from workloads. Hence, increasing risks in physical impairment as
well as mental exhaustion. Moreover, a person who undergoes mild stress would have a
positive effect on their sensory reception, such as interpretation of data, encoding and
decoding messages, thus improving memory and acuity. Hence, the adverse effects of stress
depend on various factors such as its severity, time, duration, and type (Yaribeygi, Panahi,
Sahraei, Johnston, & Sahebkar, 2017).
Interpretation: Deviation for Normal
3. SELF-PERCEPTION – SELF-CONCEPT PATTERN

Findings: The client was concerned that she was leading an unhealthy lifestyle. She has not
been eating correctly, sometimes consuming more than she needs to. Furthermore, since she
is overburdened with work from her job and the thesis she is now working on, she has not
been exercising regularly or engaging in any physical activities, leaving her feeling weak

FIRST SEMESTER
A.Y. 2021-2022
and lethargic. Furthermore, the client lacks confidence in her general look since she believes
that the stress she is experiencing affects her entire appearance. She also described herself
as stressed in general. Most of the time, she has breakdowns due to the unbearable stress
she is under, as well as social and environmental pressures. With so much on her plate, she
seldom experiences a feeling of success or pleasure from the tasks she has been assigned.
Furthermore, she is going through all of this while pregnant, and hormones at this point add
to the weight of what she has been going through daily. According to the March of Dimes,
pregnant women's hormones are fluctuating, which significantly impacts their mood. Mood
fluctuations may make dealing with stress harder. Mothers may be worried about what to
anticipate during labor and delivery, as well as how to care for their newborn. If you work,
you may be expected to handle employment responsibilities and prepare your team for your
maternity leave.
Analysis: Increased screen time, particularly internet usage due to the demands of online
settings meetings, and having to go out to work affect a person's mental well-being. These
people have an increased susceptibility to developing depressive symptoms such as anxiety,
low self-esteem and self-confidence, and other mental distress. In correlation with self-
esteem, Hoare, Milton, Foster, and Allender (2016) stated that the other factors associated
with sedentary activity with frequent use of the internet are their body mass index (BMI)
and lacking physical activities, especially for females. According to March of Dimes,
pregnant women's hormones shift, dramatically affecting their mood. Mood swings can
make it challenging to deal with stress. Mothers may be concerned about what to expect
during labor and birth and how to care for their infant. In addition, if they work, they may
be required to manage job obligations and prepare your team for your maternity leave (n.d.).
Interpretation: Deviation from Normal


FIRST SEMESTER
A.Y. 2021-2022
4. ROLE - RELATIONSHIP PATTERN

Findings: According to the client, she is currently working as a Pharmacist. She has a good
relationship with her colleagues. As a matter of fact, she views some of her close workmates
as her newfound friends. She also reports being part of various groups and organizations
with her former college friends. She reveals being in contact with her grade school and high
school friends up until now. Occasionally, they go out to buy things, eat good food, and
drink coffee, but none of these have already happened for the past two years due to the
Covid pandemic.
Additionally, she reveals living with her family. She describes her family as caring and
supportive of her. She claims to have had a happy experience with her family and denies
any family problems. When it comes to her role in the family, she does most household
chores.
Analysis: The role-relationship pattern characterizes the client’s roles, responsibilities, and
patterns of relationships with other individuals. Social integration is defined as the act of
being involved in numerous social connections, ranging from romantic relationships to
friendships, while social support is characterized by resources offered by a social circle to
aid individuals in coping with stress (Cherry, 2020). The interview revealed that the client
possesses strong social integration and social support within her circle. The client maintains
a good relationship with her family, friends, and colleagues. According to a study titled
Social Support and Resilience to Stress, social and emotional support is beneficial to
physical and psychological health (Ozbay et al., 2007). Clients with decreased social
integration and social support levels may be linked to various mental health concerns.
Moreover, having a strong social network can impact overall health positively through
having a higher possibility of making healthier choices and behaviours.

FIRST SEMESTER
A.Y. 2021-2022
Interpretation: Normal
5. SEXUALITY – REPRODUCTIVE PATTERN

Findings: The client identifies herself as a woman who is aligned to her biological sexuality
(cisgender woman). Moreover, she had her first menstruation at the age of 11 or 12.
Moreover, her last menstruation was on March 14, 2021, Sunday, and she became pregnant
and has just given birth to a healthy baby boy this month of December. Also, she reported
that she experiences menstrual cramps associated with her monthly period. Furthermore,
the client has not experienced any sexual contact for the time being, for she and her husband
practice abstinence because they do not want to complicate the patient's pregnancy
accidentally. In relation to this, she does not have any reproductive diseases or sexually
transmitted diseases.
Analysis: Stress levels are associated with the frequency and regularity of a female's
menstrual cycle. During this period, hormonal imbalance, particularly problems or
disturbance in average hormonal level associated with the production of estrogen and
progesterone, is prominent, which leads to disruption in normal reproductive processes,
thus, experiencing a sudden onset of irregularities in the onset of the menstruation and
mood. Also, stress acts as a repressing force onto the normal functioning of the
hypothalamus, which alters various body functions, such as ovarian dysfunction and
hormonal imbalance (Winderlich, 2010). In addition, according to Mayo Clinic, sexual
intercourse during pregnancy is not prohibited since the fetus inside the woman's womb is
well protected by the amniotic fluid in the uterus, so any sexual activity will not affect the
baby (2020). However, although sexual intercourse is not prohibited, it is encouraged to
abstain from intercourse to be on the safer side.

FIRST SEMESTER
A.Y. 2021-2022
6. COPING – STRESS TOLERANCE PATTERN

Findings: The client stated that her source of stress this past few months is demanding
occupation due to the amount of workload. Moreover, she frequently feels tense and anxious
regarding the fast-approaching deadlines and questions the quality of her works. Also, she
does not use any medicine or prescribed drugs to manage her anxious and tense feelings.
Additionally, she does not have vices such as smoking, drugs, and alcohol intake to manage
her stress. Frequently, she has episodes of breakdowns from overwhelming distress. Also,
she feels uneasy and despairing. With this crisis, luckily, she has her very supportive
husband and other relatives and her internet friends; some are also her Facebook friends to
lean on and have someone alongside to endure the sleepless nights, especially during the
stressful times of the quarantine. Also, her family is supportive of her work and the thesis
she is currently working on because she is studying again, Masteral; and makes sure to
provide her with everything she needs as much as possible. Nevertheless, at times, she tends
to dissociate herself from the people around her since she does not want any distractions
that could divert her from her tasks to something else.
Analysis: Social support is necessary for anyone undergoing stressful experiences. The
presence of support systems, such as your friends, and peers, exhibits compassion and
understanding with one another that would help an individual get past a situation or crisis.
Also, the presence of your family, especially those an individual treats as their parent, is
still needed in all phases of life (Ozbay, Johnson, Dimoulas, Morgan, Charney, &
Southwick, 2007). It depicts support and comfort from those whom you value the most.
Hence, self-isolation would increase vulnerability towards psychological problems since
individuals are closing themselves from those who want to reach out. Also, low social
support associated with high stressors would decrease the time to achieve healthy physical

FIRST SEMESTER
A.Y. 2021-2022
and emotional well-being (Orzechowska, Zajączkowska, Talarowska, & Calecki, 2013). In

addition, those who experience stress and fatigue lack the ability to find positivity from
hardships, decreasing motivation and enthusiasm.
Interpretation of Findings: Deviation from Normal
7. VALUE – BELIEF PATTERN

Findings: The client's religion is Roman Catholic. Prior to the pandemic, she frequently
attends Sunday masses with her family. Also, she reads bible verses and prays to keep her
motivated and ensure devotion and connection with the Almighty. With this, she considers
herself as a devoted Christian with a strong belief and faith in God. Moreover, the client
strongly believes and depends on Science and research-based medicine and treatment rather
than folk medicine. In her current situation, she has not experienced any changes in her
belief, yet, making her carry on despite the hardships she encounters. Thus, it makes her
remember the purpose of what she is doing and serves as a constant motivation.
Analysis: In religion, those who have the same beliefs usually have a purpose and trust a
greater being above all. With this, it enables these individuals to instill hope in themselves
in spite of the situation they are experiencing. Strong religious and spiritual faith is
correlated with how a person handles stress and other underlying physical conditions. Those
with strong beliefs could quickly adapt and recover from health conditions, enabling easier
access and willingness to health interventions and treatments. Moreover, constant overall
well-being is not ensured, yet, their mindset depicts positivity which allows a lower risk of
disease contraction, making it better for their health (Koenig, H. G., 2012).

FIRST SEMESTER
A.Y. 2021-2022
Findings: As per the client, recently, she has had an irregular eating pattern due to the
limitations before the procedure (giving birth). Additionally, she follows a diet plan made
explicitly by her dietician as per her physician's advice because of her chronic hypertension
and high blood glucose levels. She has been eating low-calorie, low salt, and low cholesterol
meals for months now. The patient also reported that since her family usually stays at home
nowadays and avoids going outside due to the pandemic, they eat home-cooked meals
prepared by her. These meals usually include sinigang, adobo, tortang talong, nilaga, fried
tilapia, and other usual Filipino cuisines. Aside from this, vegetables are included since the
household aims to eat healthy to avoid any sickness. In addition, she stated that most of her
cooking is bland because she is trying so hard to limit her salt intake. Usually, her husband
reminds her to include fruits on their diet as a snack to keep them healthy instead of any
other snacks. On busy days, with loaded work, thesis dilemmas, and fast-approaching
deadlines, she often eats heavy meals due to stress eating. She only eats a portion of rice
and the dish prepared for her dinner since she does not feel hungry at all.
Moreover, her daily intake of water ranges from 9-11 glasses (2250 mL to 2750 mL) per
day for her beverages. Furthermore, the client does not have any history of allergies and
intolerances in relation to food intake. Also, the client has not experienced any food
poisoning or other diseases associated with food and takes supplements to acquire such
essential amino acids to be included in her diet.
During her stay in the hospital, she was forced to eat "extra bland but nutritious hospital
food," like how she branded the hospital food prepared for her diet as per her physician’s
advice. Although, she could not eat until her doctor cleared her since mothers are not
allowed to eat until they know their peristalsis is functioning well. Peristalsis is a movement
aimed at transporting solids or liquids inside the tube-like structures of the digestive and
urinary systems; it is a wave-like kind of muscular activity.

FIRST SEMESTER
A.Y. 2021-2022
Analysis: Keeping a healthy diet is necessary, especially for pregnant individuals, since it
directly correlates with their pregnancy nutrition. Studies have shown that eating proper
breakfast, regular eating patterns, and sufficient intake of fruits are associated with a better
pregnancy diet in mothers with other health concerns. Moreover, an increase in appetite or
food intake is accessory to high arousal emotions such as tension, distress, and anxiety.
Hence, these emotions are often perceived by anxious mothers in particular that frequently
undergo constant pressure from themselves, their family, and peers. In addition, a slow rate
of digestion is also an effect of stress in the operation response of the sympathetic nervous
system (SNS).
Furthermore, the client's diet-recall pattern shows that she drinks 8-10 cups of water a day
before admission to the hospital.
Additionally, the client takes supplements such as ascorbic acid and ferrous sulfate daily.
The body does not synthesize some nutrients, thus, needing it to acquire from the diet from
various sources, including vitamins and other supplements for proper and enhanced body
regulation. To add up, the mother is not allowed to eat until she farted, and that is the case
for many hospital procedures, to not eat until a patient defecates or farted because peristaltic
movement is being observed. Peristalsis is a movement aimed to transport solids or liquids
along inside the tube-like structures of the digestive and urinary systems, and it is a wave-
like kind of muscular activity (MedlinePlus, 20
9. ELIMINATION PATTERN
Findings: As per the client’s statement, her bowel elimination pattern is regular, more
particularly now that she is laboring, uterus contractions are doubling her trip to the

FIRST SEMESTER
A.Y. 2021-2022
restroom. Furthermore, she reports defecating in the morning or night, usually once or twice
daily. She describes her stool as "brown, normal consistency, smooth, and resembles the
shape of a sausage." She reports having no discomforts, irregularities, pain, or other bowel
control issues. Meanwhile, she characterizes her urinary elimination pattern as frequent,
with around five to six times per day, since her uterine contractions are making her bladder
uncomfortable at times. She details her urine character as "pale yellow in colour and has no
smell." She is also not experiencing any discomforts, irregularities, pain, or any other
concerns relating to urinary control. In addition, she denies using any laxatives or any other
methods to help in excretion. She also does not experience excess perspiration and any
odour problems.
Analysis: The elimination pattern tells about the bowel and bladder excretion patterns.
Leonard (2020) stated that typical stool characteristics are medium to dark brown, soft to
firm in texture, pain-free to pass, has an unpleasant odour, and is eliminated once or twice
daily. The client's stool has similar characteristics to a normal stool. Meanwhile, typical
urine characteristics involve being yellow to amber in colour but may vary depending on
fluid intake and diet, having a mild smell, and being clear or slightly cloudy (Physical
Characteristics of Urine, 2020). Since the client takes up lots of fluids intravenously, her
urine colour is pale yellow with no smell. Additionally, she is not using any laxatives or
other helping procedures for excretion since she can eliminate body wastes without
difficulty on a regular basis.

before bedtime
Findings: According to the client, she can easily fall asleep every night and whenever she
wants to take a nap since it is in her nature, and she also said that it might be because she is
too tired from working all day long, and maybe it is also a pregnancy thing. She also can
maintain a consistent sleeping pattern because she avoids screen time before bedtime.
Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, she wakes up at ten in the morning to attend her
classes and sleeps at around three to five in the morning. Meanwhile, every Tuesday and
Thursday, she wakes up at seven in the morning to attend her classes and sleeps at around
one to four in the morning. Every weekend, she wakes up at noon and sleeps at four to six
in the morning. In summary, she gets three to six hours of sleep during the weekdays, while
she gets four to eight hours of sleep during the weekends. She reports feeling tired or listless
even after waking up. She experiences nighttime awakenings sometimes. Furthermore, she
also naps in between her classes at times. She denies snoring, experiencing nightmares, and
using sedatives or other helping procedures to encourage sleep.
Analysis: The sleep-rest pattern details the pattern of sleep and rest, including schedule,
methods to induce sleep, habits, and perceived feelings after waking up. Sleep is defined as
a physiological behaviour wherein consciousness towards environmental stimuli is lowered,
which is significant for survival (Mandal, 2020). Based on Michael Crocetti, a pediatrician

FIRST SEMESTER
A.Y. 2021-2022
at Johns Hopkins Hospital, teenagers require around nine to nine and a half hours of sleep
every night since they are in the midst of the second stage of cognitive maturation. Sleep
helps in intellectual development and physical growth surges. It also aids in the prevention
of significant concerns such as depression or drug abuse. The client usually gets three to six
hours of sleep on weekdays and four to eight hours on weekdays. Insufficient sleeping hours
might lead to a short temper, fatigue, and inability to focus (Watson & Cherney, 2020).
Furthermore, long-term severe health consequences such as weakened immunity and

increased susceptibility to high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and
depression (Cherney, 2019) might also happen. In relation to this, the client usually wakes
up feeling tired or listless despite being able to rest. According to Santos-Longhurst (2019),
common causes of waking up tired include sleep inertia, blue light exposure, poor sleeping
environment, eating and drinking habits, and sleep disorders. The client also experiences
nocturnal sleep disturbances, which may be linked to puberty and emotional and psychiatric
disturbances such as the existence of stressors, the presence of psychological conditions,
low self-esteem, and a tense personality (Thomas, 2019). Additionally, the client takes a
nap during the afternoon sometimes. Napping can be associated with increased alertness,
reduced stress levels, enhanced cognitive function, more efficiency, and improved health
(Scott, 2020). Now for the part where the patient feels sleepy many times within a day,
studies say that physical and mental changes, in addition to hormonal changes, diminish
your energy levels and make you feel tired. Among these modifications are the following:
elevated estrogen and progesterone levels (which, by the way, act as a natural sedative)
(Knisley, K., 2020).

Findings: During the patient’s hospital stay, her day begins at eight in the morning, eats
her first meal at lunch, and the patient is assessed many times throughout the day, and
consults doctors and nurses like every 20 minutes, and ends her day at around three to five
in the morning. Additionally, she describes her lifestyle as ‘not-so-active’ since she does
not do any physical activities aside from minimal stretching due to pregnancy. Her only
exercise is walking from one part of the hospital room. For her leisure and recreation, she
likes watching movies and series, spending time with her family, watching youtube and
TikTok videos, reading books, and napping. Moreover, she sometimes lacks the energy and
motivation to do what she needs and wants to do. She can eat, bathe, groom, dress, move,
eliminate, and do other chores without help from other people.
Analysis: The activity-exercise pattern describes the activities done within the day,
participation schedule, leisure and recreation, energy and motivation to do things, physical

state, and meaning of each activity to the client. During weekdays, the client's activities are
dependent on the schedule of her synchronous classes. Most of her activities are reliant on
her family's schedule, recreational activities, and school requirements during weekends. The
client's sleeping time is inconsistent since it varies every day depending on what she needs
and wants to do. As stated in the article What is the Best Time to Sleep and Wake Up? By
Kristeen Cherney (2019), sleeping while it is still dark can aid in getting sufficient sleep
while also making falling asleep easier. Ideally, individuals must go to bed early at night to
wake up early in the morning. Precisely, this pattern corresponds to our inherent proclivity
to align our sleeping patterns with that of the sun's.
Moreover, the client's eating time is inconsistent since she eats depending on her free time
and whether "she feels like it." Two papers published in the Proceedings of the Nutrition
Society reveal that health is not influenced solely by what an individual eats but also by
when an individual eats. Regardless of total calorie content, irregular meals can lead to a
disrupted internal body clock, high blood pressure, obesity, and type 2 diabetes (Masters,
2016). Furthermore, regular physical activity and exercise are associated with many
physical and mental health benefits such as improved mood and reducing feelings of
anxiety, depression, and stress, aiding in weight loss, maintaining strong muscles and bones,
boosting energy, decreasing the risk for chronic disease, enhance skin health, improve brain
function, and help in relaxation and sleep (Semeco, 2021). However, the client is physically
inactive. Leisure and recreational activities are said to reduce stress and depression, enhance
emotional health, reduce isolation and loneliness, enhance social skills, improve heart
health, reduce chronic diseases, and increase life expectancy (Braves, 2020). Fortunately,
the client allows time for the things that she wants to do. However, there are some instances
wherein she lacks motivation and energy to do things. Lastly, the client can function and do
regular activities without receiving help from other people.

of cancer
According to the

found almost
anywhere: on your

and in your stomach.
While some are
hazardous, the
majority are not, and
some are even good
for human health.
When bacterial
counts are high —
meaning the number
of colonies of a single
organism is greater
than 100,000 per mL
— bacterial
colonization in urine
is high. (Pappas,

infection
In the given
Urinalysis result of
the client, it can be
seen that the bacteria
count is higher than

VI. ECOLOGIC MODEL

HYPOTHESIS
Low blood sugar caused by medication is known as drug-induced low blood sugar. It's most
frequent in insulin users. It is frequent in diabetics who use insulin or other medications to regulate
their condition, but it can also happen if you're taking certain oral diabetic drugs. Even if diabetes
is adequately managed, the medications used to treat it can cause drug-induced low blood sugar.
The disease can also arise when someone who does not have diabetes takes a diabetes medication.
Non-diabetes drugs might produce low blood sugar in rare situations. Taking too much insulin or
diabetes medication, not eating enough, delaying or skipping a meal or snack, increasing exercise
or physical activity without eating more or modifying your meds, and drinking alcohol are all
common causes of diabetic hypoglycemia. Fatigue, irritability, weakness, blurred vision,
headaches, frequent urination, and increased thirst are all symptoms of blood sugar abnormalities.
These symptoms are your body's way of informing you that your blood sugar levels are abnormally
high.

ANALYSIS
As reported by Medical News Today, previous study has shown that stress may contribute to
obesity. Stress has also been related to "comfort eating," in which people resort to meals heavy in
fat and sugar in an effort to make themselves feel better. A hormone generated as a result of stress
called cortisol has also been linked to obesity and the metabolic syndrome, according to research
(2017). Moreover, since stress generates an unstable blood glucose level, when the body is under
stress, it prepares itself by ensuring that there is adequate sugar or energy available. It is believed
that insulin levels are falling, glucagon and epinephrine levels are rising, and more glucose is being
released from the liver (Diabetes Education Online, 2021). The year 2005, according to
Narkiewicz, reveals that obesity has been consistently connected with high blood pressure and
increased cardiovascular risk. According to risk estimations derived from population research,
obesity is directly responsible for at least two-thirds of the prevalence of hypertension. (Masters,
2016) states that frequent irregular meals may put you at risk for obesity, high blood pressure, and
type 2 diabetes, independent of how many total calories you consume. According to the findings
of (Polonsky & Henry, 2016), at least 45 percent of individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) fail to
attain appropriate glycemic control (HbA1c 7 percent) in their treatment. Poor drug adherence is
a significant contributor to the problem. Adherence to diabetes medications is notoriously difficult
in people with type 2 diabetes. This is linked with poor glycemic control.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

It is thus concluded that the overall manifestation of the patient's health condition is comprised of
Chronic Hypertensive Cardiovascular Disorder, Class II Obesity, Diabetes Mellitus due to
Unstable blood glucose levels, which was caused by irregular and faulty eating habits, constant
stress, and nonadherence to medication specifically designed for the patient's health condition and
pregnancy state. It was confirmed by the assessment findings via Gordon's Functional Health
Pattern, physical and cognitive assessment, which overwhelmed the host with multifactorial causes
that traverse various pathways, emphasizes on agents in explaining diseases, mirroring reality,
making the patient more susceptible to conditions a pregnant woman is at risk during her
pregnancy, as well as her preexisting health complications.

FIRST SEMESTER
A.Y. 2021-2022
Insulin resistance during pregnancy causes gestational diabetes, according to Rashi C. Waghel and
Jennifer A. Wilson, associate professors at Wingate University in Wingate, North Carolina.
Controlling blood glucose levels aids in the prevention of complications in both mother and baby,
such as preeclampsia and macrosomia. Nonpharmacologic methods, such as diet and exercise, are
often sufficient for many women. Additional drugs, such as insulin, metformin, or glyburide, may
be required for certain women. Women with gestational diabetes are more likely to develop
postpartum diabetes.
Non-pregnant hypertension patients have benefited from lifestyle adjustments such as weight loss
and salt reduction. Due to volume constriction, salt restriction is not recommended in
preeclampsia. Bed rest, on the other hand, has been shown to lower blood pressure, produce
diuresis, and avoid premature labor. It is advised to examine the diet, since it is vital to be more
active and healthier on a regular basis. Drinking lots of water to keep hydrated, eating breakfast to
stimulate metabolism, avoiding skipping meals to maintain energy level, eating a balanced diet to
limit the quantity of high fat, high sugar, and high salt foods, and eating iron-rich foods to prevent
iron deficiency are all part of it (anemia). As a result, the patient will avoid the aforementioned
health concerns.

the result of having too much sugar
in the body while having low levels
of insulin or the inability of the
body to utilize the insulin supplied
by the pancreas and is further
aggravated by ineffective
medication management. This may
cause the patient to experience
polydipsia, polyphagia, and
polyuria (Wayne, 2017).

Infections in the lower urinary

consumption exceeds what the
body can utilize for energy,
several problems are likely to
develop. This implies being
overweight, and it is more likely
to develop cardiovascular disease,
type 2 diabetes mellitus, sleep
disorders, infertility in women,
and aggravated musculoskeletal
problems, which puts a higher risk
for heart disease. The body mass
index (BMI) can be used to
determine whether a person is
obese. It's not the most accurate
approach to assess cardiovascular
risk, but somehow the risk of
heart disease and stroke rises as
the BMI rises (Wayne, 2021)
Risk for bleeding AEB LSCS 1 6 This medical condition is the sixth
priority as it concerns risk of
bleeding, according to the ABC
rule. The placenta is generally
pushed out of the uterus after the
infant is born. These contractions

in the region where the placenta
was connected after it is delivered.
The blood veins bleed easily if the
uterus does not tighten firmly
enough. After the delivery of a
baby, postpartum hemorrhage
occurs when there is more
bleeding than usual. With a
cesarean birth, it's more likely. It
usually occurs after the placenta
has been delivered, although it can
occasionally occur later
(University of Rochester Medical
Center, 2021).

CRITICAL REVIEW WITH SUMMARY OF THE LITERATURE

Type 2 diabetes has reached epidemic proportions around the world, and it is expected to
continue to rise. At least 45 percent of type 2 diabetes patients do not attain sufficient glucose
control. Despite the fact that a variety of treatment options are now available for T2D,
morbidity and death are still high due to the disease's chronic poor metabolic control,
particularly poor glycemic control.
Poor glycemic control is caused by a number of causes, including a lack of integrated

treatment in many health-care systems, clinical inertia among health-care practitioners, and
poor patient compliance with self-care guidelines. Patients are more inclined to stick to
pharmaceutical regimens if they can see how the drug they're taking is helping them achieve
some quick and good results.
No single type of intervention was consistently successful for promoting adherence, despite
the large range of intervention content. With that, the majority of therapies have centered on
the broad category of lowering treatment burden focusing primarily on the problem of
medication behavior rather than medication attitudes. The specific Type 2 Diabetes therapies
have frequently been described inaccurately. Educational and/or behavioral support
interventions as one of the examples are described as fundamental pillars in the majority of
adherence therapies. It has several tactics that delineate as a complex intervention. But, the
specifics of how they work or what impediments are being targeted and rarely specified.
Multifaceted interventions, on the other hand, have been found to be more effective than
single-strategy approaches.
Medicine adherence includes taking prescriptions properly. It is the degree to which people
take up their physicians' prescriptions appropriately. Taking medicine properly includes having
prescriptions filled, reading medication instructions, taking the correct amount, taking

FIRST SEMESTER
A.Y. 2021-2022
medication at the appropriate frequency, and being persistent and consistent. Medication
adherence is crucial for people with diabetes to manage their disease and live better lives.
However, at least 45% of patients with type 2 diabetes do not attain appropriate glycemic
control (HbA1c 7%). Poor drug adherence is one of the leading causes. Insufficient glycemic
control increased morbidity and mortality. Higher expenses of outpatient treatment, emergency
department visits, hospitalization, and managing diabetic complications are linked to poor
medication adherence in Type-2 diabetes. Patient demographic factors (e.g., young age, low
education level, and low-income level), critical patient beliefs about their medications (e.g.,
perceived treatment inefficacy), and perceived patient burden regarding obtaining and taking
their medications are all linked to poor medication adherence (e.g., treatment complexity, out-
of-pocket costs, and hypoglycemia). Specific obstacles to medication adherence in Type-2
diabetes, especially those that may be modified, need to be identified; initiatives should target
medication burden reduction and patient medication attitudes. These issues necessitate
alternative behavioral approaches as well as new medication delivery systems (Polonsky, W.H.
& Henry, R.R., 2016). Study after study addresses the challenges of diabetic medication
adherence. The diabetic medication adherence statistics help put noncompliance into
perspective. The following are the dilemmas but not limited to:
According to William H. Polonsky and Robert R. Henry, non-adherence to medication

loses $317 billion yearly (2016). The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney
Diseases says 50% of chronic illness drugs are not used as directed. Most patients with type 2
diabetes have inadequate glycemic control, and over 20% of new prescriptions are never
maintained. Approximately 30% of people with diabetes skip at least one oral
antihyperglycemic medicine every month. Medication non-adherence causes up to 69 percent
of medication-related hospitalizations and at least 125,000 fatalities annually. Only 13.2% of

people with diabetes get their blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose goals (Polonsky, W.H.
& Henry, R.R., 2016).
No, people do not just refuse to take their medication. Nonadherence is not the same as
non-intentional non-adherence. Socioeconomic, health care system, and medical comorbidities
may all affect adherence. Nonadherence may take many forms. First, failure to complete a
prescription or begin therapy. Following this, the patient does not take the drug as
recommended (late or improper doses), rendering it useless. Finally, Persistence: The person
begins taking medicine but ultimately stops.
Non-adherence to treatments has been linked to adverse health consequences for patients.
There have been studies on the economic consequences for healthcare providers, such as
increasing hospitalization and readmission rates, but less on the financial consequences for
pharmaceutical corporations.
Medication non-adherence costs pharmaceutical businesses an estimated $637 billion

annually. Evidently, medication non-adherence is a severe worldwide health problem that
requires urgent attention," 'The ultimate frontier' for pharmaceutical firms — the only area of
their business where they can produce significant top-and bottom-line growth, enhance
outcomes, and save the healthcare system at the same time.
Despite new drug classes, enhanced patient education, and focused adherence programs,
Type-2 diabetes medication adherence remains low. New nonpharmacologic and
pharmacologic techniques are required to improve adherence clinically and sustainably.
Innovative approaches to managing treatment burden and patients' problematic medication
views are required. Novel medications or delivery methods that eliminate the need for daily,
weekly, or even monthly doses should be available soon, allowing for enhanced glycemic

consumption (Polonsky, W.H. & Henry, R.R., 2016).
