Case Study: For Milestone Three, you will prepare a draft of Section II: Wellness Recommendations. Throughout this course, you have been working closely with a client profile narrative. You began this journey in Module One by reviewing a short list of client descriptions from which you made a selection (Milestone One). In Module Three, you submitted a draft of your client analysis (Milestone Two). For Milestone Three, you will submit a draft of your wellness recommendations (Section II of the final project). This milestone is submitted in Module Five.

PROMPT
Submit your draft of Section II: Wellness Recommendations and Plan of Action Template. Since you have monitored your client, learned of his or her traditional course of treatment of chronic conditions, and become familiar with his or her emotional, social, and overall wellness conditions, you will now communicate your recommendations and options to your client to help him or her make informed decisions.

Begin by viewing the provided Plan of Action Template, which you will fill out and submit as part of this milestone submission. Complete the adaptive table as appropriate for your client and the wellness recommendations you have brainstormed for him or her. Keep in mind that the content in the Plan of Action template does not have to be written in full sentences and can be presented in the form of bulleted lists. Once you have filled out the Plan of Action template, use it to inform the written narrative of your wellness recommendations plan. Base your wellness recommendations for the client on your previous analysis of his or her health status. Be sure to consider how to help the individual improve quality of life and help manage his or her chronic disease. The audience for this section is not necessarily your client, but it should be written professionally with citations where appropriate to support the best practices and theories used to make your recommendations.

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

Wellness Recommendations: In this part of the summative assessment, you will base wellness recommendations for the client on your previous analysis of his or her health status. Be sure to consider how to help the individual improve quality of life and help manage his or her chronic disease. The audience for this section is not necessarily your client, but should be written professionally with citations where appropriate to support the best practices and theories used to make your recommendations.

Question 2: Describe the traditional medical approach that was initially recommended for the client and explain why that approach has been ineffective in managing the client's chronic disease. What factors may have contributed to the ineffectiveness of this approach?

Question 3: Determine if a complementary alternative medicine (CAM) approach could be implemented in order to more effectively manage the client's chronic disease and improve their quality of life. Be sure to explain why this would or would not be recommended. What would be the benefits or drawbacks of applying a CAM approach to this specific chronic disease? Consider the many different CAM approaches that may apply to the situation.

Question 4: Determine if lifestyle modifications could be implemented in order to more effectively manage the client's chronic disease and improve his or her quality of life. Be sure to explain why this would or would not be recommended. What are some changes, both small and large, that the individual could make to improve his or her chronic disease?

Question 5: Recommend wellness strategies informed by best practices for addressing wellness issues of the chosen individual. Be sure to incorporate CAM approaches and lifestyle modifications if appropriate, and cite your sources. What accepted wellness strategies could you recommend for your individual? How would you adapt the wellness strategies to better fit the needs of your individual?

Question 6: Use the provided template to develop a plan of action for your specific individual to implement these strategies and achieve optimal health, justifying response. Be sure to consider both how the individual needs to manage his or her chronic disease and how he or she can best address wellness issues.

Question 7: Explain how your recommendations will not only help the individual manage his or her chronic disease, and improve quality of life in the present, but also in the future. Be sure to justify your response with research.
