Chang is a 56-year-old cis-woman who is presenting to the CLSC for an update on immunizations. She states, “when I had a cut in the kitchen last week on a can, I realized it’s been forever.” As this is a routine visit and you have not met Chang before, you take the opportunity to go through the preventative care checklist to update Chang’s file. Chang reports that “My diet’s really slipped the past few years because of my job. It’s just so stressful all the time and I have no time for anything. I’ve gained so much weight”. When you calculate it, Chang’s BMI is 35, and her waist to hip ratio is 0.85. Chang also reports drinking more alcohol lately (3-4 glasses of wine/day) to decompress after work. Using the preventative care checklist (download link below), for average risk, routine, female health assessments, list three (3) priority nursing interventions to implement during this visit and explain your reasoning. Be specific in your selection of the nursing intervention.
