INTRODUCTION
This case study is all about L.V, a 56 year old patient who diagnose with a Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus along with a urinary tract infection at Bulacan Medical Center on December 19, 2012, with a chief complain of dizziness, weakness and difficulty in breathing. Diabetes Mellitus or simply diabetes, is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by increased levels of glucose in the blood (hyperglycemia) resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action or both. Diabetes has its major classification which varies in cause, clinical course, and treatment. These are the type 1 DM, type 2 DM, gestational diabetes, and diabetes mellitus associated with other conditions or syndromes. Type 2 diabetes mellitus or commonly known as Non- insulin dependent or an adult onset type described as a relative deficiency of insulin production and a decreased insulin action and/or increased insulin resistance. It occurs more commonly among people who are older than 30 years of age and obese although its incidence is rapidly increasing in younger people that is because of the growing epidemic of obesity in children, adolescence and young adults. The clinical manifestations are depending on the patients level of hyperglycemia. It includes polyuria (increased urination) and polydipsia (increased thirst) occurs as a result of excess loss of fluid associated with osmotic dieresis. Patients also suffers polyphagia (increased appetite) that is the results from the catabolic state induced by insulin deficiency and the breakdown of proteins and fats. Other manifestations such as fatigue, weakness, sudden vision changes, tingling or numbness in hands or feet, dry skin and recurrent infections are noted. Several procedures like fasting plasma glucose, random plasma glucose and glucose level two hours after receiving glucose (2- hour postload) may indicate an abnormally high blood glucose level which is considered to be the basic criterion for the diagnosis of diabetes. The major goal of the diabetes treatment is to normalize the insulin activity and blood glucose level to reduce the development of vascular and neuropathic complications without patient experiencing hypoglycemia: nutritional therapy, exercise, monitoring, pharmacologic therapy and education which are the essential components of diabetic regimen.

The incidence of diabetes is growing around the world. It is in the top ten leading causes of deaths. Filipinos are not an exemption to this incidence as more and more Filipinos are affected by the disease. According to the survey conducted by the Philippine Cardiovascular outcome study on Diabetes Mellitus in 2007 found out that 20.6 percent of adults aged 30 and above were found to be diabetic. In 1998 only 3.9 percent of Filipinos living in the Philippines had diabetes. On the other hand, the prevalence of diabetes according to the NNHES (National Nutrition Health Survey) study is 4.8%.

REASONS OF STUDY The group chose type 2 diabetes mellitus as our case study because aside from it is still fresh in our minds; our group was interested in studying this. We are willing to do this case to challenge our own minds in analyzing the problem and to enhance our knowledge, as well as to gain new experiences which could bring new learnings for the group. This case study will also help the group in understanding the disease process of the patient. It would also help the group in identifying the primary needs of the patient with a type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. By identifying such needs and health problems arise the group can now formulate an individualized Nursing care plan for the patient that would address these needs and problems effectively. Management of the identified problem will help the patient to recover faster and maintain holistic sense of wellness. This will also equip the group with knowledge, skills and attitude on how to manage future patient with the same disease.

Middle Adulthood: 35 to 55 or 65 During final stage, the individual develops a strong sexual interest in the opposite sex. This stage begins during puberty but last throughout the rest of person's life. Adults need to create/nurture things that will outlast them, often by having children/creating a positive change that benefits other people. Success leads to feelings of usefulness and accomplishment, while failure results in shallow involvement in the world. Can think logically about abstract propositions and test hypothesis systematically, becomes with hypothetical future and ideological problems.

Orientation Few people operate at this stage all the time. It is based on abstract reasoning and the ability to put oneself in other people's shoes. At this stage, people have principled conscience and will follow universal ethical principles regardless of what the official laws and rules are. .

DEFINITION

RESOLUTION

The client was successfully met the psychosexual stage not only because she was able to have children with her husband but also in genital stage affords the person the ability to confront and resolve her remaining psychosexual childhood conflicts.

The client achieves this stage because she knows that she gave back to the society through raising her children and being productive as being a mother to her children.

The client thinks rationally and logically. As a mother and wife she was able to solve the problems by communicating to her children and husband.

She lives autonomously and defines the moral personal identification with group values and principle that are universally agreed on the considers appropriate that for life. She makes decision according to what her conscience dictates.

V. THEORY THEORY THEORIST DESCRIPTION

A health promoting behavior is an end point or action outcome directed toward attaining positive health outcomes such as optimal well being, personal fulfillment, and productive living. The central idea of the theory of self-care deficit is that the requirements of persons for nursing are associated with subjectivity of mature and maturing persons to health-related or health care-related action limitations Focusing on the notion that centers around three components of Care, Core and Cure. Care represents nurturance and is exclusive to nursing. Core involves the therapeutic use of self and emphasizes the use of reflection. Cure focuses on nursing related to the physicians orders. Core and cure are

APPLICATION OF THEORY TO THE PATIENT

Health Promotion Model can help the client to attain positive health outcomes by eating of healthy diet, exercise regularly, managing stress, gaining adequate rest, spiritual growth and building positive relationships.
In this theory suggests that patients recover quicker and more effectively when they are allowed to meet their own basic needs, such as eating, grooming, and using the restroom. We use it as a guide to provide care and to help client to attain self-care.

3. Core, Care and Cure Model

We use this theory as a guide for our care plan to the client because the major purpose of care is to achieve an interpersonal relationship with the individual that will facilitate the development of the core. Client is composed of body, pathology, and person. People set their own goals and are capable of learning and growing.

NURSING PROBLEM 1. Altered Tissue Perfusion JUSTIFICATION We consider this problem as our first priority because diabetes mellitus has a primary feature of constricted blood vessels which caused by an inadequate oxygenated blood circulate in the body which is the reason of having a fatigue in relation to the decrease muscle strength

2. Fatigue

We choose the fatigue as our 2nd priority because it is more important than the deficient knowledge and considered to be a physiologic needs of an individual.

3. Deficient Knowledge

We consider the deficient knowledge as the 3 rd priority because it is very important to know the care, course and the treatment of her condition, for her to be aware in her body. Intolerance of activity is our 4th priority because if we resolved the problems in the circulation or the fluid volume, fatigue and the

XII. CONCLUSION
At the end of our case study, our group learned things about Type II Diabetes Mellitus and Urinary Tract Infection that are needed for us to know. We therefore conclude that we, as nursing students must give time in knowing disease or illness like our case. These things would help us further in giving or disseminating information to people who are concerned or involved in this condition.

37 | P a g e

On the other hand, this case study is not only for nursing student but this can be also helpful to other professionals and ordinary people. We studied about the risk factors, its sign and symptoms, treatment, medication for Type II Diabetes Mellitus and Urinary Tract Infection. Hence, we learned that any individual is prone to this condition if their lifestyle puts them to a higher risk. Thats why we must all be well-informed to prevent its occurrence. Lastly, at the end of our case study we, student nurses apprehend all essential things about Type II Diabetes Mellitus and Urinary Tract Infection. Avoid exposure, proper lifestyle, proper hygiene and proper nutrition is the best way to prevent the acquiring of Type II Diabetes Mellitus and Urinary Tract Infection and any other diseases.
