Task # 1

is a Care Plan, below I attach two forms in words that must be completed. Please below I attach a document with an example of a Nursing Care Plan that will serve as a guide to make mine. Task # 2 is a Case Study that has three items a, b, and c, which must be answered independently. 

 Required Textbooks and Reading Material:

Touhy, Theris DNP and Jett, Kathleen, (2018). Ebersole and Hess’ Gerontological Nursing & Healthy Aging, 5th Edition. Elsevier. ISBN: 9780323401678

Task # 1

Care Plan 

Medical Diagnosis: Arthritis

Arthritis is inflammation of one or more of your joints. The main symptoms of arthritis are joint pain and stiffness, which typically worsen with age. The two most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis is usually caused by normal wear and tear, while rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder. Other types of arthritis can be caused by uric acid crystals, infections or even an underlying disease, such as psoriasis or lupus.

Task # 2 

Case Study 

Case Study: Health Care of the Older Adult

2.The nurse is completing the admission assessment for a patient scheduled for cataract surgery in the outpatient center. Because the patient is over the age of 70 and has several chronic conditions, including hypertension and congestive heart failure, the nurse focuses on completing a thorough medication history. (Learning Objective 4)

a. What questions should the nurse include in the medication history?

b. The patient states that she stopped taking one of her medications due to cost, since her health insurance would not reimburse for the medication. What are other reasons that older adults may be non-compliant with ordered medications?

c. How does aging affect drug absorption, metabolism, distribution, and excretion?
