Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University QSEN Competencies Discussion

Part 1

In this assignment, you will address the use of practice guidelines and standards to evaluate clinical case outcomes. The previous case of Esteban provides the clinical scenario.

Case Scenario: Esteban is a busy professional in his late thirties. Three years ago at his last visit, the doctor recommended he quit smoking and lose weight. According to his doctor, his blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol were a little high and improving his diet would help improve his overall health. He has cut back on his smoking and has also gained a little weight, despite his efforts to lose. He was too busy to return to the clinic for 6 months follow-up labs or return for last year’s health maintenance. He returns to the office today, three years later, for another health maintenance visit.
