Develop a wellness program with a holistic approach for the older adult you have identified, using resources available in your community. Discuss how this approach will prove an optimum level of well-being.

      Mrs. T>T. age 67 who is presently diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus, and has a hx of obesity, and non-healing wounds/ulcers. Non-compliance with medication and dietary regimens has caused Mrs. T.T.’s blood sugars and wound healing to be compromised. Getting this patient on the right track to facilitate a healthier way of eating which in turn would help with the wound healing process, decrease her HGB A1 ,and  promote weight loss. Maintaining and conforming to a healthier eating plan and exercising at least three times a week should boost her wellness. Mrs. T>T’s efforts to conform to these lifestyle changes will not be in vain if the end result increases her longevity as well as her quality of life. First lab values should be obtained to get a baseline. Secondly, teaching her how to accurately and frequently obtain her blood glucose level and how and when to use her insulin is a fundamental part of this wellness process. Providing education as well as demonstrating healthier ways to prepare food is a vital component as it relates to wellness.  Mrs. T>T. should be taught how to dress her wounds as well as being able to detect, if any new wounds are present and when to contact the physician or wound nurse. Information on various exercise groups with individuals her age will hopefully make Mrs. T>t. look forward to the activity for social and health conscious reasons. An optimum level of wellness should be evident through maintaining health Hgb A1C levels, weight loss, and adherence to her medication regimen as it related to her Diabetes Mellitus diagnosis.
