AB  - CASE  ILLUSTRATION  1Alicia  Romero  is  a  45-year-old  woman  from  El  Salvador  who  works  as  a  nursing  assistant  at  a  nursing  home.  If  she  has  an  acute  complaint  such  as  back  or  knee  pain,  she  will  make  an  appointment  to  see  her  primary  care  nurse  practitioner,  but  even  then  there  is  little  time  in  the  15-minute  visit  to  address  her  chronic  medical  ­issues  such  as  diabetes,  hypertension,  and  hyperlipidemia.  The  nurse  practitioner  has  done  her  best  to  ­explain  the  importance  of  healthy  eating,  physical  ­activity,  and  taking  the  five  prescribed  medications,  but  Senora  Romero  is  busy  with  her  job  and  caring  for  her  sick  mother  and  8-year-old  son  and  has  not  been  able  to  take  good  care  of  herself.  Her  hemoglobin  A1c  (HbA1c)  is  9.5,  her  blood  pressure  (BP)  is  usually  150  over  95  mm  Hg,  and  her  low-density  lipoprotein  (LDL)  cholesterol  is  140  mg/dL.
