For this assessment, you will create a 2–4 page report on an interview you have conducted with a health care professional. You will identify an issue from the interview that could be improved with an interdisciplinary approach, and review best practices and evidence to address the issue.

The aim of this assignment is for you to provide a discussion of the nurses’ role focusing upon the impact of serious illness in relation to a vulnerable group.
The Equality Act (2010) identifies 9 protected characteristics which can make a group or individual more vulnerable to inequality. Explore a group identified by the Act as having a protected characteristic and discuss the wider determinants associated with this group that can increase vulnerability to the impact of serious illness. This may be the impact of the disease from a biological, social or emotional perspective. (LO 1).
Discuss some of the external factors that influence how nurses deliver care, this could a societal, economic or political factor, in relation to your chosen group and the impact of the illness. Consider the nurses role as a health promoter and the skills required to effectively deliver and communicate health promotion messages to your chosen group. The professional role of the nurse, in concordance with the NMC Code of conduct (2018) will be evident throughout your discussion (LO 2).
It is expected that you will use relevant theory and research to support your discussion; this should include evidence from academic books, peer reviewed journals and recent policies and legislation.

Instructions:
Scenario: A 52-year-old male patient who is a house painter presents to the office reporting chronic fatigue and “mild” chest pain. When he is painting, the chest pain is relieved after taking a break. He reports that the pain usually lasts 5 minutes or less and occasionally spreads to his left arm before subsiding. The patient was last seen 3 years ago by you, and you recommended diet changes to manage mild hyperlipidemia, but the patient has gained 30 pounds since that time. The patient’s medical history includes anxiety, vasectomy, cholecystectomy, and mild hyperlipidemia. The patient does not smoke or use other tobacco or nicotine products. The patient cares for his wife, who has multiple sclerosis and requires 24-hour care. His daughter and grandson also live with the patient. His daughter assists with the care of his wife, and his job is the major source of income for the family. The initial vital signs are: blood pressure 158/78, heart rate 87, respiratory rate 20, and body mass index 32. As part of the diagnostic work-up, an ECG, lipid levels, cardiac enzymes, and C-reactive protein (CRP) are ordered. The patient reports that he does not have time to “be sick” and says that he needs to take care of everything during this visit so he can return to work and care for his wife.
What additional information should you obtain about the pain the patient is experiencing?
What additional physical assessments need to be completed for this patient?
What differential diagnoses should be considered for the patient?
Assuming that the in-office EKG did not indicate any abnormalities, how would you proceed to manage the abnormal subjective and objective findings discovered during this visit? Include specific interventions for each diagnosis in your treatment plan. Provide complete prescription details, follow-up instructions, and potential referrals.
What patient teaching will be incorporated into the visit to modify the patient’s risk factors?
Include the ICD-10 codes you would choose for each problem addressed and the Evaluation and Management/Office visit code expected for this visit. Keep in mind the length of time it has been since this patient has been seen in the clinic.
Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.
