A Brief Note On Diabetic Foot Prevention And Early...

As future nurses, it is of great importance to be involved in the prevention and early identification of complications that diseases could cause. In the teaching plan, we mainly discussed foot care due to the high risk that the client was at for developing foot complications. Diabetic foot care is when there is special care for the feet that needs to be carried out everyday in order to prevent foot complications. Lower limb amputations have increased worldwide as a result of diabetes due to poor foot care related to factors such as improper footwear, poor maintenance of blood glucose levels, and lack of proper diabetic teaching (RNAO, 2014) which are factors that this client is experiencing and why we chose this topic of teaching. According to the journal called â€Å"Nurses’ role in diabetic foot prevention and care† (2012), it says that â€Å"the most common cause of hospitalization in diabetic patients is the foot problems and it is one of health system concernsâ₠¬ . Therefore the nurses’ primary goal is to identify which clients are at risk in order to prevent foot ulcers through early detection. The risk identification is important for successful preventive management of the feet in diabetic clients. Our group wanted the client to understand the complications that diabetes can cause to the feet, proper foot care, and the appropriate footwear for diabetics in order to help improve the client’s well-being and quality of life while living with diabetes.
