Spollett, G. (2003). Case study: A patient with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes and complex comorbidities whose diabetes care is
managed by an advanced practice nurse. Diabetes Spectrum,16(1), 32-36.
Based on the diabetes related medical diagnosis chosen and your primary diagnosis of patient, choose one major intervention
of focus to research for this portion of the assignment. The intervention should be evidence-based.
1.Select one major intervention.
2.Critically analyze four evidence-based medicine studies related to the intervention chosen and approved by faculty.
3Address the following elements in each ofthe four studies: =Purpose of study.
=Sampling issues.
=Magnitude of the treatment effect.
=Applicability to the chosen patient.
=Feasibility in the given situation/condition/circumstance of your patient (or case study).
liProvide a conclusion: =Discuss the conclusion based upon the review ofthe literature for all four studies.
5.Summarize your findings: =Discuss conclusions related to this intervention in the treatment of this chosen patient (or case
study).
6.Plan and Rationale for: =Drug therapy.
=Non-pharmacological treatments.
=Further lab/diagnostic tests.
=Education of the patient and family.
=Follow-up or referral.
=Cost.
7.outline the background of medical diagnosis ofyour patient and note the typical plan of care based on the evidence-based
medicine literature.
8.Compare and contrast the literature to the actual plan of patient care of your chosen patient (or case study). Elaborate on the
feasibility of the plan of ca re noted in the literature to its application to your actual patient (or case study).
