Hypertension is one of the most common complex disorders.

It is a chronic medical
condition in which the BP is elevated. Accelerated hypertension is associated with
headache, somnolence, confusion, visual disturbances and nausea and vomiting.
Essential hypertension is the form of hypertension that by definition has no identifiable
cause, but there are many ris factors such as sedentary lifestyle, obesity, alcohol
intae, salt !sodium" sensitivity, and vitamin # deficiency. It also related to aging and
some inherited genetic mutations.
#iabetes $ellitus type % also called non&insulin&dependent #$ is a disorder that is
characteri'ed by high blood glucose in the context of insulin resistance and relative
insulin deficiency. (hile it is often initially managed by increasing exercise and dietary
modification. Early symptoms may be nothing more than chronic fatigue, generali'ed
weaness, and malaise !feeling of unease", excessive urine productive, excessive thrist
and increase fluid intae, blurred vision, unexplained weight loss, itching of external
genetalia and excessive bowel movement.
)raditionally considered a disease of adults, type % diabetes is increasingly
diagnosed in children in parallel to rising obesity rates due to alterations in dietary
patterns as well as in life styles during childhood.
OBJECTIVES
*ur general ob+ective is to determine diseases that are applicable in our $edical&
,urgical -ursing concept.
*ur specific ob+ectives are. to provide care to the patient/ to enhance patient0s ability
to participate in daily activities/ to decrease his suffering from the illnesses/ to enhance
patient0s health status/ also, to enhance my ability for patient care, to gain nowledge
and enhance sills, and to fulfill my re1uirement in -2$345%4%.
SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS
)his care study is limited only to metabolic and endocrine concept/ it is also limited
to client who have illnesses that is applicable in the concept/ it is limited to patient in the
medical ward only/ the care is only limited for 6 days.

According to the patient it is a heredo&familial disease. His father also suffered from
hypertension and his mother also from a chronic heart disease.
According to patient he rarely drins alcohol. It is only when there is family gathering
and friend invitation.
"ealth "istor)
)he patient has a history of smoing, and alcohol intae. >ast year he also admitted
due to increase blood pressure. He was in a regular chec&up of his blood pressure and
sugar level at ?erman clinic.
Chief Com%laints an' "istor) of Present Illness
Body weaness and pallor = days prior to admission. Body weaness with craving of
food, with fever and cough for @ wees. Presence of bipedal edema.
According to Eri Erison, during this age also called maturity stage which he ccalled
this stage as Ego integrity vs. #espair. In this stage he said that a person accepts
responsibility for one0s self and life. In this case patient 78 shows some signs of despair
due to inability to do some self&activity and prolonged hospitali'ation. According also to Eric
#igest, he categori'ed this age group as older adult. According to him at this group
retirement in each career is the most common but after retirement they are engaged to a
new career in their life. *thers remain in the wor force, either voluntarily or because they
do not have sufficient resources to allow them to retire. Patient 78 wants to continue his +ob
as a private employee but because of his illness he is unable to wor that much and that
maes him have a decision to voluntarily retire, but he added that if given a chance and if
his health restored he will want to bac to wor to fulfill his duty.

Anatom) of Pan$reas
)he pancreas is located in the upper abdomen, has endocrine and exocrine
functions.
)he islets of >angerhans, the endocrine part of the pancreas, are collections of cells
embedded in the pancreatic tissue. )hey are composed of alpha, beta, and delta
cells.the hormone that produced by the beta cells is called insulin/ the alpha cells
secrete glucagons and the delta cells secrete somatostatin.
I-,A>I-& A ma+or action of insulin is to lower blood glucose by permitting entry of
glucose into the cells of the liver, muscle and other tissues, where it is either stored as
glycogen or used for energy. Insulin also promotes the storage of fat in adipose tissue
and the synthesis of proteins in various body tissues. In the absence of insulin, glucose
cannot enter the cells and is excreted in the urine. High levels of glucose in the blood
can diagnose this condition, called diabetes mellitus.
?>A2A?*-& the effect of glucagon is chiefly to raise the blood glucose by converting
glycogen to glucose in the liver.
