The teaching plan
The teaching plan for the patient involves teaching on the risk factors of diabetes, education on the need for immediate insulin injection, and how it works along with the significance of video game intervention. Educating the patient on the risk factors associated with diabetes will enable the patient to understand the likely cause of her condition. Therefore, it will help the patient to develop a positive attitude towards her health condition.
The plan will differ from the adult plan since the teaching plan for an adult will not contain an explanation of the importance of video game intervention in managing diabetes. Children and youths are always resistant to insulin injection compared to adults. The video games would, therefore, enable them to take care of their diabetic condition by themselves. Unlike, children who require video game intervention to manage diabetes due to their high resistance rate to medication, adults are non-resistant to the diabetes medication. Hence, they do not need teaching on video games. The video game would help the patient to engage in self-care of her diabetic condition.
The family will be incorporated into the plan by addressing the family environment of the patient. Much of the diabetes management of a patient habitually takes place within the family and social environment. Therefore, addressing the family environment of the patient will assist in incorporating the family into the plan to help in the proper management of the diabetic condition of the patient.
The other professionals that will be included in the plan include nutritionists and pharmacist. The nutritionist will help the patient to understand the association between food and diabetes. Likewise, the pharmacist will help the patient understand diabetes medications and how they work. The patient would be advised to actively participate in the basketball team at schools to help insulin work better in the body and increase her energy level.
