Case study

John is 55 years old. He is a full-time bricklayer who

immigrated from Scotland to Australia when he was 17.

He lives with his wife Lauen in a one storey house, and

together they have 3 daughters (all have moved out of

home). Five months ago John underwent a right below

knee amputation due to peripheral vascular disease and

has given up working. Prior to his operation, he was

smoking a pack of cigarettes per day (30/day), and now

reduced to 25/day. John now spends his time watching

Netflix or at his local soccer club (behind the bar, so he

can drink with his mates). He is drinking 10 - 14 standard

drinks per day (he favours an IPA). John has current

referrals from the GP to a physiotherapist, dietician,

occupational therapist and has appointments for all

within the next four weeks.

presentation MUST follow this format:

1. Slide One: Title slide. State your name, student number, case study (Liam or Cassie), and chosen modifiable risk factor.

2. Slide Two: Concisely summarise the case study and define the chosen modifiable risk factor behaviour.

3. Slide Three: Outline how the risk factor, if left unchanged, may impact on the disability outlined in the case study (i.e. pathophysiology), and how further decline/loss of independence may impact on the persons life, considering their personal circumstances.

4. Slide Four: Identify a health behaviour theory that could be used as the basis for an intervention to modify that behaviour (such as, but not limited to: health belief model, theory of planned behaviour, transtheoretical model, health promotion model). Concisely outline the theory, and how you, as the RN, would encourage behaviour change using this theory.

5. Slide Five: Outline and justify one (1) innovative and practical strategy that can be implemented at home by the person in the case study to encourage risk factor behaviour modification, why it is a relevant strategy for the case study, and what the RNs role will be within this strategy.

6. Slide Six: Outline and justify one (1) appropriate (real) service/support/group in your area able to assist. Include a brief description of the service (relevant to the clinician, not the consumer), why this service will assist, and what the RNs role will be within this strategy.
