Task 1 Before reading the passage, see how much you know about the treatment of common chronic and acute diseases by answering the following questions.

1.What are the differences between acute diseases and chronic diseases? 2.What are the most common chronic diseases of older adults?

Suggested Answers1. Acute diseases often begin abruptly and last only a short time. Most people

with an acute disease can expect to return to normal health. However, chronic diseases usually develop slowly, last a long time, and are often progressive and incurable.

2. The most common chronic diseases of older adults include arthritis, cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and obesity. In addition, the following primary health conditions also affect older adults: depression, cognitive decline, pneumonia and influenza, oral health, and orthopedic/hip fractures.

Treatment of Common Chronic and Acute Diseases Health concerns are usually classified as either acute or chronic. Acute illnesses

often begin abruptly and last only a short time. Most people with an acute illness can expect to return to normal health. However, chronic diseases usually develop slowly, last a long time, and are often progressive and incurable.

Chronic Diseases Chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes, are by far

the leading cause of mortality in the world. Treatment includes medication and lifestyle changes such as diet and physical activity, and stress management. Cardiovascular diseases include coronary heart disease, hypertension, congenital heart disease, heart failure, etc. Once diagnosed with CVDs, patients are typically prescribed medication that will regulate cardiovascular functions and are usually taken daily for the rest of their life. Certain treatments are usually started right away if a heart attack is suspected, even before the diagnosis is confirmed. These include: oxygen, aspirin to prevent further blood clotting, nitroglycerin to reduce the workload on the heart, and treatment for chest pain.

Cancer may affect people at all ages, even fetuses. The three most common types of cancer treatment are surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which aim at removing the cancer cells or destroying them in the body with medicines or other agents. Choice of treatment is influenced by several factors, including the specific characteristics of the cancer, the patient’s overall condition, and whether the goal of treatment is to cure the cancer, keep it from spreading, or relieve the symptoms.

All forms of diabetes have been treatable since insulin became medically available in 1921, but there is no cure. The insulin injection is a basic treatment of type I diabetes. Type II is managed with a combination of dietary treatment, exercise, medications and insulin supplementation.Acute Disease Treatment for acute diseases usually involves medication of antibiotics, which have direct effects on inflammation. Pneumonia is a common illness which occurs in all age groups. Most cases of pneumonia can be treated without hospitalization. Typically, oral antibiotics, rest, fluids, and home care are sufficient for complete resolution. However, if the symptoms get worse, or complications occur, the person will often have to be hospitalized. Appendicitis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the appendix, which has been recognized as one of the most common causes of severe acute abdominal pain. Once a diagnosis of appendicitis is made, appendectomy is usually performed to remove the inflamed appendix. Antibiotics are always begun prior to surgery and as soon as appendicitis is suspected. Normally, the patient stays in the hospital for less than a week and can usually count on being back to a normal routine in three weeks. Once the useless appendix is removed, there is no danger of appendicitis recurring.

常见急慢性疾病的治疗方法

人们对健康的担忧通常分为对急性病和慢性病的担忧。急性疾病通常发病突然，并且持续时间较短。大多数急性疾病患者有望恢复健康。而慢性疾病通常进展缓慢，持续时间较长，并且经常不断地恶化，无法治愈。慢性病 慢性疾病，如心血管疾病、癌症和糖尿病，是目前全球疾病死亡的主要原因。针对慢性疾病的治疗包括药物和饮食、身体锻炼等生活方式的改变，以及对压力的控制。心血管疾病包括冠心病、高血压、先天性心脏病和心力衰竭等。一旦被诊断患有心血管疾病，患者通常须终身服用医生开具的调节其心血管功能的处方药物。如果出现心脏病突发的疑似症状，某些治疗措施甚至在确诊之前就应开始进行。这些治疗措施包括：吸氧、施用阿司匹林以阻止血液凝块的进一步形成、施用硝化甘油以减少心脏的工作负荷，以及胸痛治疗。 癌症可能危及各年龄段人群，甚至胎儿。三种最为常见的癌症治疗手段为手术治疗、放射线疗法和化学疗法，其目标在于去除癌细胞，或者通过药物或其他制剂将癌细胞在患者体内完全消灭。治疗手段的选择受一些因素的影响，包括所患癌症的特征、患者的整体状况，以及治疗的目的是要治愈癌症、控制其扩散，还是要缓解症状。

自从胰岛素于 1921 年被应用于医学以来，各种类型的糖尿病成为可治之症，但仍无法治愈。胰岛素注射是 I 型糖尿病的基本治疗手段。 II 型糖尿病则通过将饮食、体育锻炼、药物、胰岛素补充等治疗手段结合起来进行控制。

急性病 急性疾病的治疗通常需要使用对炎症有直接作用的抗生素类药物。 肺炎是一种见发于各年龄段的常见疾病。大多数肺炎病例无须住院治疗。一般情况下，口服抗生素、休息、输液和家庭护理足以将其完全治愈。然而，如果症状恶化，或出现并发症，患者将必须入院接受治疗。 阑尾炎是以阑尾的炎性反应为特点的病症，它一直被认为是急性腹部剧痛的最常见原因之一。阑尾炎一经确诊，通常须施行阑尾切除术以去除发炎的阑尾。对于疑似阑尾炎患者，阑尾炎手术术前应及时施用抗生素。通常，患者住院不超过一周，而且三个星期内就有望恢复正常的工作和生活。一旦没有用处的阑尾被切除，就不会再有阑尾炎复发的危险。

Task 4 Suppose you were a medical assistant, what can you do to provide effective nursing care for patients with chronic diseases?

“Chronic diseases are now themajor global disease problemfacing the world and a key barrierto development, to alleviatingpoverty, and to implementing theMillennium Development Goals.”

—Dr. Lee Jong-wook, Director-General, World Health Organization( W HO), at the Fourth WHOGlobal Forum on Chronic DiseasePrevention and Control in Ottawa inNovember 2004

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Key

Key•• Ensure that the patient and the patient’s family understand the diagnosis, the treatment and know where to obtain more information on the chronic disease.•• Talk with the patients and collaborate with them—they are the ones living with the disease.•• Work with community members and patients to ensure that appropriate services are available both in institutions and in the community. If appropriate community services are not available, the nurse’s role becomes that of facilitator and advocator.•• Consider the social determinants of health (e.g., income, employment, education, geographic isolation and social exclusion) in the assessment and treatment of clients with a chronic disease.•• Become aware of complementary practices available for patients to deal with existing chronic diseases or to prevent them. Determine the complementary practices your patients are using (if any), and assess the impact they may have on other treatments.•• Advocate increased investment in health promotion and preventive care. Support the development of an integrated approach to chronic disease prevention that focuses on common major risk factors.

Task 2 Work in group. Practice explaining penicillin allergy test to your group members. The following points should be included: purpose, method and responses. You may refer to the expressions below.

Sample

Task 2Suggested Answers Penicillin is effective for treating bacterial infections. But if you are allergic to penicillin, taking these drugs can be dangerous. In order to avoid allergic response, you have to take a penicillin allergy test. Nurse will inject a small amount of skin test solution into the skin. After 20-30 minutes, if an allergy is present, it will produce a red, raised spot, called a wheal, at the test site. In a very few cases, if you feel dizzy, short of breath or chest pain, you should notify the doctor immediately. If the test is negative, penicillin can be administered.

Project

Project GuidelinesThis project aims to gain deep insight into the nursing intervention in the diagnosticprocedure. The overall tasks are divided into three steps. Step One looks at collectingthe information about the patient’s physical status. Step Two focuses on theimplementation of diagnostic tests. Step Three centers on medication administrationand completion of records on the nursing note.

Please follow the Task Description to complete your work.

Instruction

Task Description Step One • Organize a small group with 2 students (acting the role of nurse and patient, respectively) in your class; • The nurse gathers the necessary and relevant information from the patient; • Direct the patient’s visit to the appropriate consulting room. Step Two • Check with the patient about the doctor’s order of the diagnostic tests. • Assist in the implementation of the diagnostic tests. Step Three • Check the prescriptions against the doctor’s orders in written form; • Administer medications to the patient (make sure that the patient understand the dose, frequency of the drug); and administer injection or intravenous therapy, as required; • Record the procedure in nursing notes; • Take turns to play each role for the whole procedure mentioned above; • Have a discussion of the details of the nursing intervention during the diagnostic procedure and give a presentation to the whole class.

Project

Objective: The purpose of this project is to help students gain deep insight into the nursing intervention in the diagnostic procedure. It refers to activities carried out by the nurse to deliver effective care to the patient as a support for the medical diagnosis in the outpatient department.Suggestions: The whole procedure is patient-centered, which involves three major steps of assessment, nursing diagnosis, implementation.Step 1: Assessment Phase The students should carry out a complete and holistic nursing assessment of every patient’s needs, regardless of the reason for the encounter. This will ensure that the students direct the patient’s visit to the appropriate consulting room.Step 2: Diagnosis Phrase The students should be aware that nursing diagnoses are part of a movement in nursing to standardize terminology which includes standard descriptions of diagnoses, interventions, and outcomes. Standardized terminology will help nursing become more scientific and evidence-based.

Project

Step 3: Implementation Phase The purpose of this stage is to help students get more details about how to administer medications or other therapies to the patient. The students should keep in mind that the methods of implementation must be recorded in an explicit and tangible format in a way that the patient can understand. Clarity is essential as itwill aid communication between those tasked with carrying outpatient care. Please note that the entire process must be recorded or documented in an agreed format in the patient’s care plan in order to allow all members of the nursing team to perform the agreed care and make additions or changes where appropriate.
