8 Health Challenges the Client Is Experiencing: headache, phonophobia, photophobia.
The client is facing the typical signs and symptoms of migraine. For instance, a headache is the most typical example of a migraine. Migraine is a critical condition that causes severe pulse sensation and severe pain. The client indicated that the pain is on one side of the brain, which is long-term and inhibits him from participating in normal activities. Phonophobia and photophobia are also key challenges that the client experiences. Phonophobia is a condition of fear of unwarranted, abnormal, or persistent sounds as this interferes with the client's mental stability. Photophobia is the fear of light. The client is highly sensitive to light since it triggers his condition. Therefore, the identified conditions are detrimental to the client's stability and physical health.
9 Cultural Factors Influencing the Care Planning Process: active duty in the military; missing work due to migraines
The major cultural factor is the active work culture of the client. The client is active in the military, which heavily affected the care planning since it was not easy for him to focus on the treatment plan.

Therefore, work culture was heavily impacted by the client's condition, thus jeopardizing the care plan.
