care practce
Biological Approach
In a health practce sch a a local doctor’ srgery a profe ional like a general practtoner ill
snder tand the importance of genetc predi po iton to certain illne e and ill therefore apply the
biological approach. A patent may go to their local doctor’ srgery to di cs ymptom that they
are experiencing, sch a di tsrbance in peech and change in behaviosr and per onality. The
medical and family hi tory to certain illne e may be explored and di cs ed at thi tage sch a
the ymptom they are experiencing cosld be imilar to family member or cosld sgge t rare
illne e . If the general practtoner identne that it cosld be a imilar illne to a family member it
cosld sgge t that the patent i genetcally predi po ed to that certain illne . In thi ca e, the
patent cosld have a genetc predi po iton to the Hsntngton’ di ea e hich may lead to a referral
to a genetci t peciali t for fsrther te t at a genetc centre. Diagno i te t
(predictve/pre yptomatc te t ) ill be carried ost at the genetc centre by genetc nsr e or
clinical genetci t . Thi may occsr a a tartng point to identfy if the patent doe have the illne or
if there i a fstsre ri k. The profe ional ill carry ost diagno i te t by taking blood ample , aliva
ample or throsgh kin biop y’ . If the patent ha been identned a to having a genetc
predi po iton to the Hsntngton’ di ea e, then the patent and profe ional ill ork together to
nnd sitable management trategie and olston here po ible to redsce the likelihood or impact
of the illne . (genetcdi order sk 217).
At a genetc centre if a patent ha been identned ith a genetc predi po iton to an illne like
chizophrenia then they may be referred to a genetc cosn ellor. Thi referral cosld be ithin the
genetc centre or the patent may be referred to a peciali t in another ocial etng like a
cosn ellor or therapi t el e here. The practtoner in thi example can provide spport for both
the individsal and their familie and may help change the vie point to ard the illne to become
more po itve. The profe ional may help the patent come to term ith having the illne . The
patent ill be able to s e thi profe ional to help their emotonal need and nnd thi to relieve
ome tre a they are able to di cs ho their illne i making them feel. A genetc
cosn ellor/therapi t may be s ed throsghost a patent’ osrney to provide emotonal spport
throsghost each tage of diagno i to treatment and management. Symptom that the patent can
experience a a re slt of chizophrenia inclsde depre ion and ocial ithdra al hich the
cosn ellor can help to manage. (Smith M. 217).
In health care practce profe ional ill apply the biological approach by snder tanding the efect
of tre on individsal and the ay of managing tre . An oncologi t in a ho pital etng ill help
brea t cancer patent ’ ho are tre ed or are experiencing ymptom a ociated ith tre . The
profe ional can identfy if the patent i tre ed by ob erving phy ical and ocial behaviosr a ell
a a king them ho they are feeling to di cover any emotonal tre . The oncologi t may explain
ho chronic tre can afect the body a ell a the negatve impact it can have partcslarly on
cancer patent and advi ed or sgge t to patent’ ay to manage and redsce any tre . The
oncologi t may be more con iderate to ard the patent and become more empathetc kno ing the
patent i tre ed. The profe ional may snder tand that the patent cosld be experiencing
increa ed anxiety and are more irritable o may peak to the patent or explain informaton in a ay
that on’t tre the patent ost fsrther. The oncologi t may refer them to fsrther therapy or
spport grosp for them elve and their familie . (cancergov 21 ).
