( I AM ATTACHING BOTH PDF’S. THE FIRST ONE YOU HAVE TO PICK A HEALTH PROBLEM OUT OF THE FOLLOWING LIST)
Patient Health Problems
o Obesity: A medical condition characterized by an excessive amount of body fat.
Obesity increases the risk of various diseases, including heart disease, diabetes,
and certain cancers. The management of obesity involves dietary changes,
physical activity, and sometimes medication or surgery.
o Cancer: A group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth and
spread of abnormal cells. There are many types of cancer, including breast, lung,
and colon cancer. Treatment varies based on the type and stage and may
include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and other therapies.
• Family Health Problems
o Alcoholism: A chronic disease characterized by uncontrolled drinking and a
preoccupation with alcohol. Alcoholism can have profound effects on family
dynamics, leading to financial difficulties, neglect, and strained relationships.
o Tobacco Addiction: A dependence on nicotine, primarily from smoking
cigarettes or using smokeless tobacco products. Tobacco addiction poses
significant health risks to the user and can expose family members to harmful
secondhand smoke.
• Population Health Problems
o Diabetes: A chronic metabolic disorder where the body cannot regulate blood
sugar levels, leading to a range of complications. At a population level, diabetes
is associated with lifestyle factors, genetics, and access to healthcare.
o Congestive Heart Failure: A condition where the heart doesn’t pump blood as
efficiently as it should, leading to symptoms like shortness of breath and fatigue.
Congestive heart failure is a major public health concern due to its high
prevalence and associated hospitalizations.
