Questions:
What would be your approach to managing this patient’s weight concern? (Discuss at least two aspects of your approach). Please support your answer with research-based evidence.
What would be our approach to the sexual side effects she is experiencing? If you suggested additional medication, look up your state’s prescribing laws.
Are PMHNP’s able to prescribe the medication you recommended? Please include the subjective and objective information in this post.
One aspect of the approach could be to focus on dietary modifications. The patient reports frequently eating out, which could contribute to her weight gain. Encouraging her to cook at home and prepare healthy, balanced meals could be beneficial. A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials found that behavioral interventions targeting diet and physical activity resulted in significant weight loss and improved glycemic control in patients with type II diabetes (Pilitsi et al., 2021). Additionally, the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet has been shown to lower blood pressure and improve lipid profiles (Appel et al., 1997).
Another aspect of the approach could be to encourage physical activity. The patient reports little exercise and no regular physical activity, which could contribute to her weight gain and worsen her comorbidities. Encouraging her to engage in regular physical activity, such as walking or other low-impact exercises, could be beneficial. A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials found that exercise interventions resulted in significant weight loss and improved glycemic control in patients with type II diabetes (Pilitsi et al., 2021)..........
