Other Assessment Information
I discovered several health-related issues throughout this
evaluation. To start with, this patient is proficient in Chinese,
which makes it difficult for me to comprehend this patient when
he speaks English. Additionally, there are various times when
this patient often misses meals (Othman et al., 2020). This
patient has a higher than average risk of developing diabetes as
a result of his poor diet as well as the long time that he spends
watching movies. When I assessed this patient, he had to
rephrase numerous words so that I could understand him well.
Despite this, his accent still made it difficult for me to
understand him. The patient also expressed concern that he
would need an interpreter for his doctor's appointment because
his English isn't as good as possible. He states that there are
times that he has had a hard time with his doctor when he
speaks to them, and so he has to write things down to make sure
they grasp what he is saying.
Diabetes is the primary health issue I'm focusing on for this
patient. Because this patient already had a pre-diabetic
diagnosis. Because of his limited command of the English
language, this patient is unable to comprehend the information

being provided to him regarding his health. Diabetes is a
concern for the patient, who expresses concern about learning
about it.

Human Rights and the Rule of Law

Date:

Human rights and the rule of law are two sides of the same
coin.The Universal Declaration of Human Rights advances
mindfulness and consistence with basic liberties and
opportunities through public and global components to work
with people in Member States and their regions. Article 1
express that all people are conceived free and approach in pride
and privileges. They are supplied with reason and obligation
and ought to act towards each other in a feeling of fellowship.
(United Nations, 1948).
The rule of law is a governance principle that ensures the
integrity of all public and private institutions and organizations,
including the United States of America, through criminal
regulations that are publicly declared, equally enforced, and
that adhere to international human rights norms and standards.
Global peace and security, political equality, economic and
social success, and the safeguarding of human rights and
fundamental freedoms all need regulation. (United Nations.
(n.d.).
In my community, there are structures in place to exercise these
human rights and ensure that citizens' rights are not violated. In
my study, I have noticed that accountability is the core value in
the rule of law. ACLU Human Rights Program (HRP) is one of
the few organizations that have been given the mandate to
adhere to international human rights laws.
International Court of Justice has played a widespread role in
promoting international human rights protection. Social Justice
is about working toward the same great society, and part of that
is to exercise of public authority, ensuring that individuals are
treated with dignity, which is the main purpose of human rights.

Continuous glucose monitoring. Using a CGM) device, one can
monitor glucose levels throughout the day and night to gain
insight into patterns and trends (Andrew Smith & Chelsea
Harris, 2018).
Lo w AIC levels. For most diabetics, the AIC goal is 7% or less.
Many factors, including your age and medical conditions, will
influence your personal goal. With the help of your doctor, set a
personal A1C goal.
This will help to know whether blood glucose is low or high.
Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS) sensors are
worn separately from the pump and placed under the skin to
monitor the interstitial fluid glucose level.
American Diabetes Association. (2016). 1. Strategies for
improving care. Diabetes care, 39(Supplement_1), S6-S12.
Asian community aged 40 and 47 years
Healthy dieting and proper counting of carbs. If a patient sticks
to a low-carb diet, you'll feel less hungry, eat less, and lose
weight more quickly than if you stick to a more traditional diet.
Keeping the blood glucose under control. Your eyes, kidneys,
heart, and blood vessels can all be damaged if your blood
pressure is too high (ADA. 2016). A slash separates the two
numbers used to represent blood pressure. For instance: 120/70.
Both numbers should be below 80.
The major strength understands how to control glucose and how
to use insulin pump.
The major weakness is that there is the possibility of a third
party changing the insulin pump. This could cause
hypoglycemia.

The natural remedies of managing diabetes
Lowering weight, lowering blood glucose and AIC (Chatterjee,
et al., 2018). Your A1C will go down if you eat the right foods
and stick to a diet plan.
The major strength is understanding diabetes management
The major weakness is that some of the natural remedies may
not be working as expected.
Based on your research, what is your proposed education
strategy? Please explain your reason(s) for selecting this
strategy:
My findings lead me to propose a address diet, physical
exercise, medication use and Blood Glucose Self-Monitoring.
Diet high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins,
as well as regular physical activity is critical aspects. Because
healthy diet, meal preparation, and exercise may lower a
patient's risk of developing diabetes, I chose this approach.
Because weight reduction helps the pancreas to keep up with the
insulin demand of the body, I would also include this as an
option. Weight reduction may be all that is needed to get blood
sugar levels back to normal, therefore eliminating diabetes.
Monitor your blood sugar levels, and you'll be able to change
your health-related habits. Self-monitoring of blood glucose
levels is recommended for all people with diabetes (SMBG).
