NURS FPX 6011 Assessment 3 Evidence-Based Population Health Improvement Plan EN The geneties.

Despite the disparitles in race and ethnicity, most studles have indicated that genes have little effect on diabetes
risk. No matter what the Indlvidual’s background is, the same behaviors and situatlons that Increase the chances apply to
everyone.

Diabetes affected 37.3 milion Americans In 2019, or 11.3 percent of the population. Type 1 dlabetes affects almost 1.9 million
Americans, Including 244,000 children and young adults. According to the data collected by American Dlabetes Association, (2022),
for those who have been dlagnosed and those who have not been dlagnosed: 28.7 million of the 37.3 million Individuals with
dlabetes were dlagnosed, whereas 8.5 million went undlagnosed. Seniors’ prevalence: At 29.2 percent, or 15.9 million senlors, the
number of Americans aged 65 and more remains high (dlagnosed and undlagnosed). Every year, 1.4 million people in the United
States are dlagnosed with diabetes. Predlabetes: 96 milion Americans aged 18 and over had predlabetes In 2019. Around 283,000
Americans under the age of 20 are projected to have dlabetes, accounting for about 356 of the population. The yearly prevalence
of dlagnosed diabetes in adolescents was expected to be 18,200 cases of type 1 dlabetes and 5,800 cases of type 2 dlabetes in
2014-2015. 4.5 percent of American Indlans and Alaska Natives live In the United States. Non-Hispanic blacks account for 12.1% of
the population. Hispanics make up 11.8 percent of the population. Aslan Americans make up 9.5 percent of the population. Non-
Hispanc whites make up 7.4% of the population. In 2017, the overall cost of confirmed dlabetes in the United States was $327
bilion. Direct medical costs totaled $237 billion. Reduced productivity costs $90 billion. After accounting for varlations In
population age and sex, average medical costs among persons with dlabetes were 2.3 times greater than they would be If they
didn’t have dlabetes.

During this research, there were some Information gaps observed such as the relation of nurses with the treatment of dlabetes.
There were few and far between sources that had any sort of data avallable for study. There were unanswered questions on
whether there are any permanent treatments for dlabetes for the patients that have already acquired it. Upon further Inspection
of this question, It came to light that there are stil some volds left in healthcare for the treatments, for now, there are preventive
measures and medications for those that have It.

Ethical Health Improvement Plan
The ethical health Improvement plan includes the promotion of lifestyle changes on a governmental stage. Changes In healthcare
policies so that both the patients and the healthcare providers are benefitted from these updated regulations. Education and
awareness of dlabetes should be made especially in the most vulnerable population as well as training and educational courses for
nurses and other health care providers so that they are more efficient in thelr care and treatment plans for dlabetic patients.
Changes In the documentation and records of dlabetic patients should be made so that both the patient and healtheare provider
have easy access to them. Testing and dlagnosing every Individual in the community for dlabetes has to be done so that there is as
much data avallable for sclentists in their research so that they can figure out the factors that influence dlabetes, the cause as well
as produce new treatments for such patlents that cannot use the market avallable medications. Use of telchealth for meeting and
holding sessions with patients as well as other healthcare prowiders that are separated by a huge distance but hold necessary
Information and data for the treatment. Welght loss programs should be widespread in every community lke gyms with trainers
skiled in welght loss. Behavior counseling has to be avallable for the patient virtually and in person, especially for those that have
Issues regarding thelr eating plans, and Iifestyle changes, and those that show carelessness in taking thelr medicine in the correct
dosage and at the right time.
