B1. Identification of Social Determinants

This paper notes that stress may lead to health-related complications, and that education, occupation, and access to food are major concerns. Three priority social determinants for the assessed patient are not clearly identified in this essay.

B2. Patient Plan of Care

The nursing plan of care is illogical, or it addresses only 1 or 2 of the social determinants from part B1. Ensuring that the patient attends an annual check-up is noted in this task as a priority concern. Plans of care for three social determinants cannot be evaluated until priority social determinants are identified for this patient.

B2a. Plan Implementation Assessment of the patient’s vital signs is listed in this assignment as an action the nurse may take while providing care for the assessed patient. Specific actions the nurse may take while implementing three unique plans of care cannot be evaluated for this assessment until priority social determinants are clearly identified and plans of care are developed.

B2b. Implementation Barriers

The patient’s lack of willingness to participate in a therapy session is noted in this assignment as a barrier to achieving goals related to education and occupation. Logical discussions that consider the unique barriers the patient may face for each priority social determinants cannot be evaluated until reasonable plans of care are developed in this submission.

B2c. Individuals Involved in Interventions

B3. Plan Effectiveness

The use of a questionnaire is clearly discussed in this assessment as a means to evaluate the patient’s progress in meeting his goals. Fully developed explanations that correspond with reasonable interventions are not evident in this task. Reasonable plans of care that target the patient’s priority social determinants must first be developed before this aspect can be fully evaluated. Scholarly support for each explanation is required for this response.

B4. Impact of Social Determinants

This submission concludes with a discussion regarding the patient’s access to food, finding that food in his area is easily accessible but not always fresh. A comprehensive summary of the patient’s actual social determinants and how they influence his overall well-being is not evident in this paper.
