As we learned earlier this semester there is no longer access to the Hartford case studies without paying a fee. Here is the information for your first case study. Please construct your responses and upload them into the Case Study 1 drop box. Complete the case study questions including what the appropriate interventions hat should be done to address her symptoms. The assignment will be due by 11:59 pm on Sunday at the end of week 6. Opal Smith (Part 1) - retrieved from page 235 of the Ham and Sloane course text. Opal Smith, an 80-year-old woman, comes to your office as a new patient. She has hypertension, type 2 diabetes (diet-controlled), osteoarthritis, and mild hearing loss. Mrs. Smith’s main reported symptoms are bilateral mild knee pain and some sense of unsteadiness on walking. She denies dizziness, postural symptoms, or falls in the past year. She takes lisinopril 10 mg daily, a multivitamin, calcium with vitamin D, acetaminophen as needed for pain, and diphenhydramine as needed for occasional insomnia. She has lived alone since her husband died 3 years ago. She still drives and has several friends with whom she visits. One of her friends suffered a fall several months ago and fractured a hip, from which she is still recovering. Mrs. Smith is somewhat worried about her own unsteadiness and risk for falls. On exam, her blood pressure is 136/78 mmHg, pulse 72, weight 150 lbs (68 kg), and height 5 ft 5 in. She is mildly hard of hearing but communicates well. She has some mild crepitus on motion of her knees; her gait is slowed with short steps and is somewhat wide based. The rest of her examination is unremarkable, as are all routine laboratory tests. At the end of her examination, Mrs. Smith asks you for fall prevention recommendations. · 1.What are Mrs. Smith’s major risk factors for falls? · 2.What interventions would you recommend to minimize her risk? Instructions: Please prepare and submit a paper 3-4 pages in length (not including APA format) answering the questions or responding to the prompts presented. Maximum Points 11 Provided complete answers to the question in the assignment. Justified ideas and responses by using appropriate examples and references 11 from texts, Web sites, and other references. Used APA 6th edition style guidelines consistently and accurately.

Case Study from an FNP Perspective

The natural process of aging frequently places older persons at a higher risk of a fall.
These events are usual and threaten the independence of older persons. Like some other geriatric
syndromes, usually falls happen when the impairments in the multiple domains compromise the
compensatory capacity of a person. Falls cause notable mortality and morbidity in older people
and are the top cause of both nonfatal and fatal injury (Gale, Cooper, & Aihie Sayer, 2016).
Some of the environmental and physical conditions that make older adults susceptible to falls are
modifiable and practitioners providing care to this age group should periodically inquire about
falls, evaluate risks, and address adjustable basic risk elements. The factors that increase the risk
of fall include disorders affecting balance chronic health conditions such as heart disease, and
physical impairment, such as poor vision. This paper elucidates on Mrs. Smith, who presents
with the following data.
Age – 80 years female
Medical history – Hypertension, diet-controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus, osteoarthritis mild
hearing loss.
Reporting symptoms – Bilateral knee pain, unsteadiness on walking
Medication – “Acetaminophen, lisinopril 10 mg, multivitamin, calcium with vitamin D, and
diphenhydramine”
Social history – Sh...
