Diabetes Mellitus Tipo 2 + Tumor en Páncreas/ Adenocarcinoma de Páncreas

Abstract

Several studies show a clear association between diabetes mellitus and the development of pancreas adenocarcinoma because its complications are not uncommon and they have to be treated in the best way possible keeping a metabolic equilibrium. This study case has to do with an elderly male patient with a pancreatic cancer associated to diabetes due to the fact that this gland produces juices that help assimilate food and the hormones that propitiate the regulation of glucose levels in the blood. Most of the information was gathered from the clinical history of the patient. This information, which was necessary for the analysis, was collected with the patient’s and the family’s cooperation and was used as a reference point. The nursing assistance is based on the scientific method which allow us to provide care in a rational, logical, and systematic manner. This allows us as future nursing professionals make independent decisions in order to achieve objectives deriving from our assistance which will improve the patient’s health state. Each day, the impact of the assistance to diabetic peopleis more noticeable, as well as the evidence that education is essential on its therapeutic approach. That’s why, with this case, we attempt to increase the level of trust on the daily work of the nursing professional. This will turn into a more efficient service for people with this chronic condition.
