Transtheoretical Behavioral Model: A Case Study
Hi Sarah,

Thank you for sharing an insightful post on how you applied the transtheoretical behavioral model to your patient. Honestly speaking, I don’t even remember learning about these models in school. But, as the readings suggest, I try to provide suggestions about nutrition to a minimum. According to Alexander, et al., physical therapists are not likely to make suggestions about smoking and nutrition (2012, p. 70). When I was working in a skilled nursing facility, if there are dietary needs for the patients, we usually refer them to a dietician. I find it difficult to provide nutritional advice since I myself have been undergoing bouts of lapses and relapses when it comes to healthy eating. Now that I am working in an outpatient pediatric

    QuikTrip’s purpose to give people the opportunity to grow and succeed has made it a favored place not only to work, but also to shop. QuikTrip (QT) is a Tulsa-based chain of convenience stores primarily found in the Midwestern and Southern United States. The first QuikTrip was opened in 1958 in Tulsa, Oklahoma by Chester Cadieux and Burt B. Holmes. QT promotes its gasoline as "high-quality" through guaranteeing it. In 2005, QT and Chevron were the first two retailers to earn a "Top Tier" rating from various automotive manufacturers. The "Top Tier" rating exceeds the United States Environmental Protection Agency's standards for gasoline additives. (http://www.quiktrip.com, 2013) QT stores are known for a wider-than-normal selection of fountain drinks, gourmet sandwiches, and grill items. QuikTrip locations are larger than the average convenience store, offering anywhere from 6 to 29 gas pumps and a large retail space inside offering high-volume items such as branded beer, soda, cigarettes, coffee, and candy. QT’s strategy is to be the dominant convenience/gasoline retailer by taking a lower gross margin on gasoline sales than its major competitors do, but makes up for the lower margins with greater volume.

    Evidence-Based Practice

    My current role as a telephonic cares manager at Humana functions as the “quarterback” who directs my patients to other allied health professionals for non-nursing matters. My patients usually come to me first for any issues, and I help them as much as I can. However, certain things, including insurance benefits, doctor’s appointments, weight loss plans, and financial issues, will be referred to other professionals because of their various resources and knowledge in the particular areas. I think that RNs can collaborate many things with other disciplines for future research. One health related problem that a registered nurse can collaborate with a dietitian is weight loss to managing diabetes and high blood pressure. Many of my patients are obese, diabetic, and hypertensive. Some of them recently had the bariatric surgeries that have turned out to be successful of weight loss. The result of weight loss ultimately has led to decreased blood sugar and high blood pressure. I think the successful rate of a weight loss plan is subject to the collaboration between a registered nurse and a dietitian, which may lead to future research. The nurse is the patient’s caregiver, educator, advocate, and researcher. The dietitian works on the patient’s diet, menu, and calorie intake that the nurse needs to collaborate with the health information and interventions.…
