Reflect upon the diagnostic exercise you participated in this week. Select one of the individuals you interacted with, and based on his or her

health assessment, develop a health plan to help them prevent the disease and improve their quality of life. Your plan should include health

care recommendations, educational materials, support systems for making lifestyle changes, and tools and resources for managing and monitoring

symptoms.

As part of your plan, include the following:

Provide a brief summary of the individual’s health assessment, the physiologic signs and symptoms of the individual’s highest disease risk,

and the impact of that disease on his/her functional health status.
Provide a health plan for risk prevention addressing diet, exercise, health monitoring recommendations, pharmacological aids, diagnostic

testing recommendations, and additional lifestyle changes. Clearly explain the interrelationships between pathophysiology, pharmacology,

diagnostic testing, and management on the individual’s health and the disease.
Identify and summarize at least one current pharmacological advancement or a key piece of substantiated research in the treatment or

prevention of the disease. Cite your source(s).
Identify two or more websites to aid in the physical and mental well-being of the individual. Include the web links and a summary of the

features and benefits of each site in a brief paragraph. Explain how specific components/features of the site can benefit your individual’s

health care.
