University of Memphis Effects of ACEs Discussion

Please submit the following 

1. After reviewing CDC ACE’s website, provide one example of something you learned that you did not know. How is this relevant to you as a nurse that will soon hold an advanced degree or as a nurse educator?

2. After watching the ACE’s simulation video, which ACE’s are present in this patient’s situation? Do you think these ACE’s affect her health? Why? Base your answers on the evidence provided on the CDC ACE’s resource website. Include specific references with your response. 

THIS IS THE ACE WEBSITE https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/aces/

I cant copy and paste the video nor while it let me save it but here is the summary of what the video talks about. for question two just go off this summery and find evidence from the website  or an article.

The patient seems to have a history of exposure to substance abuse, specifically in using prescription drugs for coping. She admits to ingesting Xanax, which as the physician clarifies, suppresses the respiratory system, alters the brain. Consequently, the drug affects the patient’s health as indicated by the difficulty in waking up typically. Fundamentally, the patient’s pain stems from past childhood experiences, witnessing her grandmother dealing with immense pain associated with diabetes. The family had no money for medicine or hospital, and at some point, the grandmother had to chop her toe. Moreover, the patient suffered under the custody of her father and only found relief when he was sentenced to prison. Currently, the patient’s memories are causing her significant pain as she thinks about her mother and grandparents. Indeed, the ACEs make the patient’s condition worse, linking her status to her experience with her grandmother. She cannot manage her diabetes properly, being stuck in past painful memories of abuse and chronic pain in her diabetic grandmother.
