Culture in Nursing Questions Discussion

I’m working on a Nursing question and need guidance to help me study.

 

Gabriela is a 32-year-old Latino woman with type 2 diabetes and

hypertension who is working full time at a fast-food restaurant. She has a BMI

of 32. Gabriela is studying to be a cosmetologist and lives with her mother,

who helps out with child care and housekeeping. Gabriela’s knees are very sore

and she is in the clinic to have them examined. She is very fearful that she

will lose her job if she cannot stand for long hours.

1. What strategies could you suggest to Gabriela to attain a healthy weight and improve her health?

2. What barriers to a healthy lifestyle do you think Gabriela may have? How would you discuss them with her?

A minimum of 3 evidenced-based references must be used

and 2 replies to any of your peers sustained with the appropriate

references must be posted.
