Demographics

The patient, Tina Jones, is 28 years of age. She is an African-American female patient who presents to the facility for a physical assessment owing to a job that she has been offered. Ms. Jones has a college degree that she is currently pursuing. As such, the patient is literate based on her education level. Given her level of education, Tina Jones has the capacity to explain the information given to her in an easier manner, which is a fundamental component of health literacy (Hersh, Salzman, & Snyderman, 2015).

Tina Jones reports that she received her meningococcal vaccine while in college, which is a testament to her health literacy. The patient is also currently undertaking a Bachelor’s degree in accounting, which supports her literacy credentials. Further, she has engaged in complex healthy activities such as limiting the amount of fizzy drinks that she takes while also undertaking exercises, which are fundamental to living a healthy lifestyle.

All these are manifestations of her education level, which points to the fact the she is literate when it comes to her health.

Insurance/ Financial Status

Tina Jones should have the capacity to afford medications, and health diet as well as additional out of pocket expenses. Her comprehensive assessment revealed that Tina Jones is already exercising healthy eating habits as demonstrated by her breakfast, lunch and supper behaviors.

Moreover, the information reveals that Tina Jones receives insurance from her company, albeit in basic terms. However, she cannot manage the out of pocket expenses since she reports that the costs therein are deterrent. Therefore, Tina Jones insurance status implies that she is able to partially afford healthcare.

Screening/ Risk Assessment

The comprehensive assessment of the patient revealed certain screening/ risks that she has to handle carefully. It was discovered that the patient failed to attend regular diabetic clinic checkups. These clinics are fundamental to the assessment of associated complications to diabetes such as retinopathy as well as neuropathy. The assessments also uncovered that the patient has a high intake of the diet Coke as demonstrated by the fact that she takes 2 of them per day.

The drink possesses a high level of caffeine as well as artificial sweeteners. These contents create a health risk for the diabetic patient since it increases the levels of sugar in their blood. Moreover, Tins Jones smokes pot for recreation purposes. The behavior might occasion a worsening of her asthmatic attacks, raise her blood pressure, and also lead to poor perfusion within the lower extremities of the patient. Therefore, all these are risk factors caused by her behaviors and they should be examined.

The age, female gender, and the existence of diabetes and allergic reactions may influence the nutritional requirements of the patient. Given that she is diabetic; the patient is required to eat food with low calories (Powers et al., 2017). To this end, Tina Jones is expected to consume a healthy diet consisting of vegetables and fruits. The elimination of junk foods and the diet sodas from her diet alongside the introduction of healthy snacks are important in maintaining her blood glucose levels.

The patient is already undertaking swimming and walking exercises at least five times per week (Wittink & Oosterhaven, 2018).
