Develop a wellness program with a holistic approach for the older adult you have identified, using resources available in your community. Discuss how this approach will prove an optimum level of well-being.

      Mrs. T>T. age 67 who is presently diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus, and has a hx of obesity, and non-healing wounds/ulcers. Non-compliance with medication and dietary regimens has caused Mrs. T.T.’s blood sugars and wound healing to be compromised. Getting this patient on the right track to facilitate a healthier way of eating which in turn would help with the wound healing process, decrease her HGB A1 ,and  promote weight loss. Maintaining and conforming to a healthier eating plan and exercising at least three times a week should boost her wellness. Mrs. T>T’s efforts to conform to these lifestyle changes will not be in vain if the end result increases her longevity as well as her quality of life. First lab values should be obtained to get a baseline. Secondly, teaching her how to accurately and frequently obtain her blood glucose level and how and when to use her insulin is a fundamental part of this wellness process. Providing education as well as demonstrating healthier ways to prepare food is a vital component as it relates to wellness.  Mrs. T>T. should be taught how to dress her wounds as well as being able to detect, if any new wounds are present and when to contact the physician or wound nurse. Information on various exercise groups with individuals her age will hopefully make Mrs. T>t. look forward to the activity for social and health conscious reasons. An optimum level of wellness should be evident through maintaining health Hgb A1C levels, weight loss, and adherence to her medication regimen as it related to her Diabetes Mellitus diagnosis.

Each question should be separate and at least 500 words.

This will enable them to develop a stress resistant approach to creating healthier habits that endure.

Module 2 – SLP

ORGANIZATION BEHAVIOR, STRUCTURE, AND ASSESSMENT

SLP Assignment Overview

This assignment will test your knowledge of organizational structures. According to Nagy (2016), organizational structures essentially are operating manuals that illustrate how an organization is put together and works. There are various types of organizational structures. Regarding organizational structures in the health care field, an organizational structure that drives a small rural family practice would not be efficient for a large urban hospital, and vice versa.

For this assignment, you should:

1. First, pretest your current knowledge of organizational structure types by using this online test at the following link: http://higheredbcs.wiley.com/legacy/college/hitt/0471351768/quiz/ch13.html
2. Watch the following video: “Types of Traditional Organizational Designs: Simple, Functional & Divisional Designs”: http://oer2go.org/mods/en-oya/business-101/videos/Chapter7/6-Types-of-Traditional-Organizational-Designs-Simple-Functional-and-Divisional-Designs.mp4
3. In a 2- to 3-page paper, describe the three types of Traditional Organizational Design (Simple, Functional & Divisional) and provide an example of a health care facility/organization that each design would ideally follow (i.e., Hospital – Functional). (Note: You might want to consider matrix organizational structures, a combination of both functional and divisional organizational structures.)
4. In your paper, dedicate a paragraph to the results of your pre-test. There is no need to share your answers or score. Consider your results against what you learned in the video. Ask yourself: Do you believe your knowledge was increased? Did the pre-test assist with knowing the importance of organizational structures for health care leaders? What other benefits did you obtain from taking the test?
