DISCUSSION POST # 1 Minu
The Healthy People 2030 initiative aims to improve health and
well-being by assisting people of all ages in getting enough
aerobic and muscle-strengthening activity. In the United States,
only one in every four adults and one in every five adolescents
meet physical activity guidelines for aerobic and muscle-
strengthening activities. Physical activity can aid in the
prevention of disease, disability, injury, and death. The Physical
Activity Guidelines for Americans specify how much physical
activity children, adolescents, and adults should engage in to
benefit their health (U.S. Department of Health and human
services, 2018).
A nurse practitioner's role as a patient educator is crucial. As a
nurse practitioner, I inform people about healthy lifestyles,
promote them, and explain the advantages of including exercise
in their daily routine. Provides information on how a healthy
diet can improve a patient's overall health and how
incorporating regular exercise into one's daily routine can
increase one's overall strength. The nurse practitioner
prioritizes education while coordinating and delivering patient
care. Promoting an active lifestyle and other healthy habits can
help prevent obesity and other chronic diseases (Pronk et al.,
2021).
Technology has transformed our entire healthcare system,
making it more excisable with a single touch. There are
numerous phone apps, particularly for the Apple Watch, Fit Bit,
and Smartwatches that track your steps, calories, sleep patterns,
and heart rate. Patients can help maintain a healthy lifestyle and
exercise compliance by using an in-built phone app that reminds
them to exercise and shows how many calories they burn.
Technology not only benefits patients but also medical
16. providers such as nurse practitioners and physicians by
preventing medication errors and allowing providers to
communicate with patients through chats using my chart
technology. People can benefit from strategies that make it safer
and easier to be active, such as providing access to community
facilities and programs. Physical activity promotion strategies
at home, school, and child care centers can also increase
activity in children and adolescents (Huter et al., 2020).
DISCUSSION POST # 2 Gita
Healthy People 2030 sets data-driven national objectives to
improve health and well-being over the next decade. One 1 4
adults and 1 in 5 adolescents in the US meet physical activity
guidelines for aerobic and muscle-strengthening activities.
Healthy People 2030 focus on improving health and well-being
by helping people of all ages get enough aerobic and muscle
strengthening activity. Physical activity can help prevent
disease, disability, injury and premature death. Being physical
active is one of the most important steps that people of all ages
and abilities can take to improve their health. However, a large
number of people don’t get enough physical activity to meet
federal guidelines.
One of the main responsibility of nurse practitioners (NPs) is to
provide ongoing care as well as the latest information about
diet, exercise and stress relief to their patient. It’s very
important for NPs to educate their patient that healthy and
active people did not achieve that lifestyle overnight. It’s
because they adopted the right healthy lifestyle habits that they
have found success. And more importantly, they stick to it. As
a health care provider, NPs should encourage their clients to
adopt healthy habits for lifelong improvements. Patients should
be encouraged to start with small changes. Whether it’s
skipping dessert for a brisk walk after dinner or replacing an
unhealthy breakfast option with a smoothie or fresh juice. The
best way to help our patients achieve their goals is to simply
ask them what they hope to achieve. One their big-picture goals
17. is determined, we can take it slow and work on smaller, short
term efforts. Another way help our patients build healthy
lifestyle habits is to teach them the concept of mindful eating.
Patients should encourage to get a restful night’s sleep each day
that can prevent an individual’s risk of obesity, diabetes, mood
swings and cardiovascular issue and other health concerns.
Patients should be encouraged to exercise 30 minutes a day for
at least 3 to 5 days/week that can help achieve their weight
goals and stay healthy (Occhipinti, 2019).
