management to a patient with diabetes
Referral of a patient to OT and PT
Support group
what are the stages of the change model? - Answer-precontemplation
contemplation
preparation
action
maintenance
precontemplation stage - Answer-patient is unaware of problem and/or
has no interest in change
contemplation stage - Answer-patient is aware of problem and is
beginning to think about changing but has not made a commitment to do
so (next 6 months)
preparation stage - Answer-patient is making a small change/coming up
with a plan
,action stage - Answer-patient is actively engaging in the plan
maintenance stage - Answer-patient integrates newly adopted behavior
patterns into his or her lifestyle
normal range for temperature - Answer-36-38 degrees c or 96.8-100.4

normal temperature range for elderly population - Answer-35-36.1
degrees c or 95-97 degrees f
what are the factors that affect temperature - Answer-age
exercise
hormone level
circadian rhythm
stress
environment
factors affecting temperature: age - Answer-as you age, your
temperature tens to run lower
factors affecting temperature: exercise - Answer-increase blood supply,
increase heat production, increase body temperature
, factors affecting temperature: hormone level - Answer-women
experience increase fluctuation in body temp (progesterone)
factors affecting temperature: circadian rhythm - Answer-lowest
temperature at 6 am and highest temperature at 4 pm (in healthy people)
factors affecting temperature: stress - Answer-stress increases
metabolism, increasing oxygen need
when the body cant meet this demand = hypoxia
factors affecting temperature: environment - Answer-room temperature/
temperature outside can lead to increase or decrease body temperature
fever - Answer-Abnormally high body temperature
important mechanism and enhances immune system
hyperthermia - Answer-abnormally high body temperature due to the
body inability to promote heat loss or reduce heat production
hypothermia - Answer-Abnormally low body temperature often
associated with exposure to cold and the body is unable to compensate
heatstroke - Answer-prolonged exposure to the sun or high
environmental temperature
overwhelms the heat-loss mechanisms the body
