Bionursing: diabetes in elderly patients

S Jordan, C Torrance

    Nursing Standard (Royal College of Nursing (Great Britain) : 1987)
    |October 4, 1995
    PubMed
    Summary

    Integrating biological theories into nursing practice can improve patient outcomes. Early physical assessment in elderly patients could lead to earlier diagnosis of conditions like diabetes mellitus, preventing complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing
    • Gerontology
    • Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Bionursing integrates biological theories into clinical practice.
    • This article is the fourth in a 12-part series on bionursing.
    • Focuses on the practical application of biological knowledge in patient care.

    Observation:

    • Case study of an elderly, bereaved female patient.
    • Patient presented with symptoms of incontinence and lack of motivation.
    • These symptoms were potentially indicative of an undiagnosed underlying condition.

    Findings:

    • The authors argue that a thorough physical assessment was lacking.
    • This oversight potentially delayed the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus.
    • Early detection through proper assessment could have altered the patient's care trajectory.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the critical role of comprehensive physical assessment in geriatric nursing.
    • Emphasizes the importance of recognizing non-specific symptoms in the elderly.
    • Underscores the need for integrating advanced biological understanding into routine nursing practice for timely diagnosis and intervention.
