Community Health Nursing: Caring For Children with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus #45384147, #21048146 University of British Columbia Nursing 321 Section 001 November 7, 2016 Wendy Andrews Community Health Nursing: Caring For Children with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is one of the fastest growing chronic diseases affecting children ages 6 to 11 worldwide (Montgomery, Johnson Ewell, 2015). This recent development is occurring at an alarming rate, with numbers expected to quadruple by the year 2050 (Montgomery, et al., 2015). Without timely intervention from the healthcare system, this condition could have a devastating effect on the health outcomes of children across North America. Many studies have identified some common factors that put youth at major risk for developing T2DM, with childhood obesity, physical inactivity, low socioeconomic status, and lack of knowledge and access to healthy food choices among the leading causes (Dean Sellers, 2015; Montgomery et al., 2015). There are many opportunities for Community Health Nurses (CHNs) to play a role in health promotion within this population. This paper will address the social factors contributing to adolescent T2DM, the current role of CHNs in addressing this condition, and ways to ensure these children have adequate access to health care.
