Overview
Climate change and climate crisis are major headliners in the news almost daily. Many providers may not recognize the impact climate changes have on primary care. Climate change is projected to result in 250,000 deaths annually from 2030 -2050, according to the World Health Organization. Through patient education the nurse practitioner can also empower a vulnerable population and subsequently reduce and eliminate health inequities aligning with Health People 2030. Nurse practitioners in primary care need to incorporate the appropriate questions encompassing employment and working conditions, as well as food, housing and energy security. This small inquiry into the patients' lives can provide the nurse practitioner with a better understanding of the patient and how to manage the patient's current medical conditions more effectively. For example, a patient with hypertension and insulin dependent diabetes living in a household without air conditioning and working outside may need medication adjustment, including eliminating the use of diuretics, as well as identification of sun or heat sensitive medications. This session will provide the nurse practitioner with the tools necessary to incorporate evidenced based care for patients with chronic and acute medical conditions experiencing the impact of the current climate change which can be considered a climate crisis.
Objectives
- Identify patients in a primary care setting diagnosed with chronic disease conditions and the impacts climate change has on their care.
- Describe climate change and the potential impacts on chronic disease conditions such as DM, HTN, COPD/Asthma and depression.
- Describe climate change and the potential impacts on acute illness such as infectious diseases or injuries.
- Identify health inequities related to climate change.
- Describe community resources available to the patient and provider to improve quality of life during climate related emergencies.
