Mr. Guzys: A Case Study

This essay described the disease progression of the chronic illness PVD in patient like Mr. Guzys. Understanding the aetiology, pathophysiology and risk factors of PVD are significant in determining the two pertinent areas of client education subsequently identified in this article. Also, this paper explored the learning attributes of an adult patient like Mr. Guzys in order to determine the most effective strategies to transfer knowledge through patient education. Moreover, twenty-five clinical studies strongly suggest that intensive one-on-one teaching, print media, and video are effective education techniques in expanding knowledge and behavioural outcome. In summary, active collaboration and partnership between the healthcare professionals,
the client and their family is paramount in successful transition to self-management of PVD.
