Learning about diabetes in school makes us more aware as a family. When my children learn about diabetes, it becomes a family issues, not just my issue. My children begin to see a clear connection between healthy living and avoiding diabetes.
We have to go back and learn what we ate, learn that we gathered food and ate wild game and there was no sickness. It’s going to be hard because our families are used to fast food, but we can adjust back to traditional food.
There are different triage systems that can be used. What they share is a five-level system that guides the nurse in deciding who needs to be seen first and who can wait. The scales go from 1 [a patient who needs to be seen immediately, be resuscitated, or is in crucial condition] to a 5 [a patient who can wait a long time, has minor injury or illness, and is classified as nonurgent.] Most of the time patients 1 & 5 are easy to identify. It is the patients in between who are the most difficult to sort out. Similarly, you may have a very sick patient, an about-to-be-discharged patient, and 3 “middle” patients in your unit.
SO, back to Maslow!
A great way to set priorities is to use Maslow. The base starts with physiological needs like food, air, and water - which correspond to the ABCs of nursing, airway, breathing, and circulation. It moves upward to safety, love and belonging, esteem, and self-actualization - needs that are important but ones that come after the patient has an airway, is breathing, and is perfusing well. Similarly, the patient who needs case management gets in line behind the patient with no BP, no matter who is yelling louder.

(TW: Eating Disorder)
First of all, body shaming is not okay and it doesn’t benefit you or me; so why do it? Secondly, some people gain weight for different reasons. I have always had an eating disorder; but I have never over-eaten. Today I ate a half slice of bread. That’s it. Most days I don’t eat at all. So my body retains every ounce I eat which causes me to be fat. (If you don’t believe that that is possible then google it) My parents, and family and friends, beg me and try to force me to eat. I struggle with not eating everyday. So telling me to stay away from the fridge is not valid; plus it’s really mean. What’s wrong with being fat? Not every person who is fat is unhealthy. Not every thin person is healthy.
I believe that when people say things to insult another person it is actually a reflection of a shame or fear the insulter has them self. You must fear being fat if you will go as far as to send me rude messages. And since you have such anxiety about being fat all I can say is that I hope you have a loving and supportive family who can help you. Peace.
every time I eat i feel nauseous and usually vomit. I asked for advice and started eating healthier foods but even when I eat organic fruits and veggies I still throw up.
I am not suffering from bulimia.
I have no idea what is wrong with me.
