The following video depicts Kevin at his most recent outpatient appointment.
Kevin who lives alone on his farm, was newly diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation (AF) when he presented to hospital following a transient ischaemic attack (TIA). He has been discharged from hospital and is now being managed medically. Kevin needs education and support with understanding his new diagnosis and how it impacts upon his everyday lifestyle. He also needs assistance with managing his medications and modifying his everyday activities to decrease risk of morbidity associated with his illness.
For this assessment task, you are required to write a 1500-word essay which addresses the main issues associated with providing nursing care for Kevin and assisting him to manage both the physical and psychological impacts of his new diagnosis.

When I first discovered this website I was hesitant on whether they will deliver a plag free paper. The support team reassured me of their plagiarism policy. In deed they kept their word as the paper I got was authentic and plagiarism free.
