Prevalence of blood pressure, glucose and lipid abnomalities among ethYisehak Tura
This study examined the prevalence of hypertension, high blood glucose, and abnormal blood lipid levels among Ethiopian immigrants in Minnesota using data from parish nurse screenings of 673 adults from 2007-2012. The overall prevalence of hypertension was 30.1%, with higher rates among men (33%) than women (24%). 12% of participants had high blood glucose. High LDL and low HDL levels were each observed in about 30% of participants. The results suggest this community has a high burden of cardiovascular disease risk factors, calling for more comprehensive health assessments and interventions.
The document outlines the learning objectives, pre-clinical assignment, pre-clinical conference, and post-clinical conference for a clinical lesson plan on pain assessment tools for older adults. The objectives are for students to learn three pain assessment scales, use the best scale for each patient, effectively relieve pain, and evaluate treatment response. The pre-clinical assignment involves watching a video on pain scales for older adults. The pre-clinical conference ensures students understand the Face Pain Scale-Revised, Numeric Rating Scale, and Verbal Descriptor Scale. Each student will then use a scale to assess pain in their assigned older adult patient. In the post-clinical conference, students will discuss their experiences using the scales, any interventions, and evaluation of
Unrelieved pain can have negative physiological effects. It prolongs the stress response and causes harmful changes to the endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, immune, and other body systems. Assessing pain in all patients, including those who cannot self-report, is important for effective pain management. A comprehensive pain assessment evaluates location, intensity, quality, onset/duration, relieving/aggravating factors, function, goals, and other details. Non-pharmacological and pharmacological methods are both used to treat pain, and opioids carry side effects like respiratory depression that require monitoring.

Faith community nurses often provide holistic care for clients and families without pay and have multiple roles without dedicated funding, which can make documentation of services difficult. Simple and concise documentation tools are needed to capture the holistic nursing care provided and show the work of faith community nurses while also helping them track intended outcomes. Faith community nurses would benefit from continuing education to understand the importance of documentation as an essential part of their practice.
Faith community nurses often do not properly document the services they provide due to barriers like a lack of consistent documentation tools and not being paid for their work. Proper documentation is important for demonstrating the benefits and cost savings of faith community nursing programs. This presentation provides recommendations for documentation tools and practices that faith community nurses can implement. It also identifies a gap in research around how documentation impacts outcomes. The presentation concludes by emphasizing that documentation should be an essential part of faith community nursing to demonstrate the effectiveness of their services.
