Practice Problem: Obesity related comorbidities are prevalent in primary practice patient populations. Heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, GERD, amongst other conditions, are health conditions patients present with continually for management. Many of these conditions are deemed untreatable, if obesity is not resolved. Encouraging patients to adopt healthy behaviors required to manage obesity and prevent or manage illness is a fundamental aspect of primary care but can be challenging.
Nursing Theory: Pender’s Health Promotion Model
Application: This model focuses on individual characteristics and experiences, behavior-specific cognitions, and behavioral outcomes. Nurse Practitioners can use this model to develop personalized interventions that motivate patients to engage in health-promoting behaviors, such as regular exercise, healthy eating, and smoking cessation.
Specific proposed change:
Specific focus for the patient population would be recommendation of AOMs (Anti-Obesity medications) like GLP-1 injections such as semaglutide and tirzepatide, to help manage obesity coupled with motivating patients to engage in health promoting behaviors to treat obesity related conditions which are impacting the patient’s quality of life.

Title: Breaking Social Norms: A Personal Experiment and Reflection
Effects of Breaking a Social Norm Give some thought to the social norms influencing your current behavior. Identify one that you will break. Be sure that you do not pick one that will cause harm to you or someone else and DO NOT break any laws. Let me repeat that, “DO NOT PUT YOURSELF OR ANYONE AT DANGER AND DO NOT BREAK LAWS.” Some examples of social norms that students have violated are sitting with strangers at the same table at the food court in the mall, men wearing lipstick and nail polish, singing happy birthday in the elevator, etc. After you have decided what social norm you will break, pick a couple of situations which you will break this norm. These should be situations where other people will witness your behavior. The kind of situations you pick will depend on the norms you choose. Pay attention to your feelings and reactions just prior to breaking the norm, how you feel while you are breaking the norm, and also after you are done. Pay attention to the reactions of other people around you as you are breaking the norm. Some students have found this easier to do if they have a friend with them who knows what is going on as they break the norm. What social norm did you decide to violate? Why did you pick this norm?
Describe how you felt just before you broke the social norm, during and after violating the norm. Did you bring a friend with you? If so, how did affect your reactions to breaking the social norm?
What were the reactions of people around you?
What did you learn from this project about social norms?
