As a grandfather, your patient spends most of his days taking care of his grandchildren while the parents, who both work full-time, are at work. Question 1. Consider the entire description of your patient above- do not imply any extra information. Provide a complete list of the patient's descriptions/risk factors, and state whether they are modifiable or non-modifiable. What conditions is your patient at risk for developing considering the descriptions you provided in your list?

The prevention that would be used for this patient would be Tertiary. The patient has already been diagnosed with Cardiovascular Disease and has been to a physician for a work up. Treating the disease and/or helping avoid complications would be the way to approach this. Case G: You are a physician’s assistant at a local community health center, where the general population has less education than a high school degree. You are concerned that many of your patients are Diabetic, but they do not seem to understand their condition. To help your patients better understand their condition and what they need to do to manage it, you decide to create an infographic on Diabetes. Question 4: Your infographic must include: difference between Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes (1.5), complications/sequela (1), actions patients need to take to prevent complications of Diabetes (1.5).
