Patient’s Case Notes Mrs DP, a 48-year old customer service call centre worker, has been referred to her GP following a health check at her local pharmacy. Before the health check, she had informed her community pharmacist of feeling very tired over the last 2 months and increased frequency of passing urine. After the health check, she was informed by the pharmacist that her blood glucose result was in the diabetic range and that more tests were required for a proper diagnosis in order to initiate treatment as necessary. Meanwhile Mrs DP was given lifestyle advice by the pharmacist. Questions What questions would you ask Mrs DP in order to identify her risk factors for diabetes? What are some lifestyle modifications and therapeutic drugs used to treat diabetes and how do they work? How can diabetes be implicated in other conditions?

Give me a rationale about this case scenario CASE SCENARIO #2 – The Client with Cognitive Disorder (Delirium) Meredith, who is 75 years old, and frail is admitted to the hospital with a fractured hip. She undergoes surgery to repair the hip and subsequently is sent to a general surgical unit. She appears alert and oriented, although she is in pain.
