Homecare Nursing in Nigeria

REASONS FOR HOME CARE
There are basically 4 reasons for home care settings;
1.    For living longer since most patients want to age in place with dignity.
2.    Patients have more chronic, complex conditions.
3.    They leave the hospital earlier and thus need more intensive care.
4.    Sophisticated medical devices have been moved into homes. Devices that were only used in homes and bedrooms. (Agency for healthcare research and quality, 2011).

Home care nursing is for individuals who need direct nursing care, but who do not wish to live in a nursing facility. A nurse can visit the home and provide care in that setting. A home health care patient is referred to as a client, and home care can last for a short period of time or an indefinite amount of time, according to medicare.gov. (Annie, 2010)

If you have health challenges and you need nurses or care givers to help you at home with activities of daily living.

Homecare for diabetic foot patient

DIABETES FOOT CARE
Diabetes is a disease that stops a person from making enough insulin to control glucose levels. The disease can cause foot problems. Diabetes can cause nerve damage. It also can cause narrowing of the blood vessels in the feet. Without proper care, foot problems can lead to amputation. These problems include: - Foot infections. - Foot ulcers. - Lower extremity infections. - Narrowing of blood vessels. - Nerve damage. - Numbness. Keeping your blood sugar within or close to a normal range can help prevent the foot problems associated with diabetes. Wash your feet daily and wear proper footwear. Exercise helps keep the blood vessels healthy and can prevent foot problems. Quitting smoking if you smoke can increase blood flow to the feet and help prevent foot problems. If you are a person with diabetes, check your feet for injuries often and see your health care provider regularly.

Bluegate homecare in Lagos..........we care about your health.

Diabetes insipidus (DI) causes frequent urination. You become extremely thirsty, so you drink. Then you urinate. This cycle can keep you from sleeping or even make you wet the bed. Your body produces large volumes of urine that are almost all water. 

DI is different from diabetes mellitus (DM), which involves insulin problems and high blood sugar. The symptoms can be similar; however, DI is related to how your kidneys handle fluids. It's much less common than DM. Urine and blood tests can show which one you have. 

Usually, DI is caused by a problem with your pituitary gland or your kidneys. Treatment depends on the cause of the problem. Medicines can often help.
