David - Sally Case Study - Nursing Assignment Help

Assignment Task:

Case study 1: 
Your name is David and you are a 36-year-old male journalist who has a very demanding job which involves working long hours. You have been smoking since you were at university and you estimate that you currently smoke between 30-40 cigarettes a day. You love to catch up with your friends at the pub for a smoke and a drink as you say it helps you relax. You have tried to stop smoking on a number of occasions, with limited success as you suffer badly from nicotine withdrawal. Your father recently died of lung cancer at age 68 after many years of smoking. In his final stages of cancer, Donald was in a great deal of pain and distress. You are worried that if you keep smoking like this, you will end up with lung cancer like your dad. 

Case study 2: 
Your name is Sally, you are a 28-years old female and you work as a financial adviser for a large finance company. You have always struggled with your weight and you currently weigh 122 kilograms. You have a family history of type 2 diabetes and hypertension. Your GP has said you must lose weight and keep it off. You would prefer to have a gastric band or gastric sleeve surgery. However, your GP is against this as you they believe you need to make lasting lifestyle changes through a combination of diet and exercise. You realise this is a more logical approach to take but do not believe you have the time or energy to do this.
