Family History
The client in the genogram depicted in the accompanying figure has
hypertension (HTN) on his maternal side; it was the cause of death
of the client's grandparents. Hypertension is inherited by the client's
mother. On the clients paternal side are insulin dependent Diabetes
mellitus (DDM also known as Type 1 diabetes) and Chronic kidney
disease (CKD). Last 2008, the client's father died due to these health
problems. The client's sister had Pregnancy nduced Hypertension
(PH) while the client's brother is alive and well (A/W). t was shown
that the patient is now has insulin dependent Diabetes mellitus
(DDM also known as Type 1 diabetes) and Chronic kidney disease
which is the same health problem the patient's father had.

G. Socio-Economic History

(pt's Mother)


Retired

2,500 dollars


R.M.S.A is 75 years old, a retired employee in a
department store in the United States of America and is
the mother of the patient. R.M.S.A is the only provider
because the client's father died last 2008. R.M.S.A's
monthly income is 2500 dollars or in Philippine money,
more or less 115,000 pesos, 1500 dollars from the
retirement benefit and 1000 dollars from the Social
Security System or SSS which is a government
institution. The client said that it is not enough to provide
for their daily needs due to a lot of expenses, especially
now that the client is hospitalized.





H. Psychosocial Assessment
Patient's Age: 46 yrs. Old
Developmental Stage: Middle Adulthood
Developmental Crisis: Generativity vs. Stagnation
Developmental Virtue: Care
Developmental Task: Being creative and productive; establishing the next
generation

n Erik Erikson's Psychosocial Development theory, ages 40 to 65 years old or
the age of middle adulthood are more likely to have a crisis of Generativity vs.
stagnation. During this period according to Erik Erickson, most adults are
preoccupied with raising a family, and establishing themselves in their vocation
or career. Some may find themselves in position of greater influence in society,
such as in government. Adults develop a concern for the welfare of the future or
younger generations, and the need to pass on or leave a "legacy regarding what
they have learned. This psychosocial need for generativity may take the form of
parenting, mentoring, teaching, or engaging in sociocivic work.

The patient seems to have a meaningful attachment to his family especially to his
mother. The patient's relatives visit him as often as they can, to show them how
much they care and love him. The patient is a graduate of nformation
Technology (T) and is currently not working because of a personal problem. The
patient has no wife and kids of his own, but he has his niece and nephews that
he loves very much. The patient always gives advices and tells them stories
about his experiences in his life.

On this stage most adults are preoccupied with raising a family, but the patient
wasn't able to achieve this. The patient lives with his mother and treats his
nephews and niece as his own children. The patient wants to practice his
vocation but he can't because of his current health problem but despite of it he
wants to help his family and make himself productive in his own simple way.

III. PA%OP$IOLOG
Diabetes MeIIitus

The pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus (All types) is related to the hormone insulin, which is
secreted by the beta cells of the pancreas. This hormone is responsible for maintaining glucose
level in the blood. t allows the body cells to use glucose as a main energy source. However, in
a diabetic person, due to abnormal insulin metabolism, the body cells and tissues do not make
use of glucose from the blood, resulting in an elevated level of blood glucose or hyperglycemia.
Over a period of time, high glucose level in the bloodstream can lead to severe complications,
such as eye disorders, cardiovascular diseases, kidney damage and nerve problems.

n Type 1 diabetes, the pancreas cannot synthesize enough amount of insulin hormone as
required by the body. The pathophysiology of Type 1 diabetes mellitus suggests that it is an
autoimmune disease, in which the body's own immune system generates secretion of
substances that attack the beta cells of the pancreas. Consequently, the pancreas secretes little
or no insulin. Type 1 diabetes is more common among children and young adults (around 20
years). Since it is common among young individuals and insulin hormone is used for treatment,
Type 1 diabetes is also referred to as nsulin Dependent Dabetes Mellitus (DDM) or Juvenile
Diabetes.
erebrovascuIar accident
Cerebrovascular accident or stroke (also called brain attack) results from sudden interruption of
blood supply to the brain, which precipitates neurologic dysfunction lasting longer than 24 hours.
Stroke are either ischemic, caused by partial or complete occlusions of a cerebral blood vessel
by cerebral thrombosis or embolism or hemorrhage. Hemorrhage may occur outside the dura
(extradural), beneath the dura mater (subdural), in the subarachnoid space (subarachnoid), or
within the brain substance itself (intracerebral).
Risk factors for stroke include transient ischemic attacks (TAs) warning sign of impending
stroke hypertension, arteriosclerosis, heart disease, elevated cholesterol, diabetes meIIitus,
obesity, carotid stenosis, polycythemia, hormonal use, .V., drug use, arrhythmias, and cigarette
smoking. Complications of stroke include aspiration pneumonia, dysphagia, constractures, deep
vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, depression and brain stem herniation
An ischemic stroke may be caused by a thrombosis, embolism, or lacunar infarct. Blockage of a
single artery can often be compensated for by other arteries in the blood vessel network, call
collaterals. Artherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), other damage to arteries, and natural
variations in the collateral network can prevent the collateral system from compensating fully.
The result is a loss of perfusion, or blood supply, to an area of the brain (ischemia).
hronic Kidney Disease
Approximately 1 million nephrons are present in each kidney, each contributing to the total GFR.
Regardless of the etiology of renal injury, with progressive destruction of nephrons, the kidney
has an innate ability to maintain GFR by hyperfiltration and compensatory hypertrophy of the
remaining healthy nephrons. This nephron adaptability allows for continued normal clearance of
plasma solutes so that substances such as urea and creatinine start to show significant
increases in plasma levels only after total GFR has decreased to 50%, when the renal reserve
has been exhausted. The plasma creatinine value will approximately double with a 50%
reduction in GFR. A rise in plasma creatinine from a baseline value of 0.6 mg/dL to 1.2 mg/dL in
a patient, although still within the reference range, actually represents a loss of 50% of
functioning nephron mass.
The residual nephron hyperfiltration and hypertrophy, although beneficial, has been
hypothesized to represent a major cause of progressive renal dysfunction. This is believed to
occur because of increased glomerular capillary pressure, which damages the capillaries and
leads initially to focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis and eventually to global
glomerulosclerosis
