Case Study 2 We will continue to evaluate Fred and his health in this second case study. From the first case study: Fred 1s a 56-year-old, single male. He is employed in sales and spends a great portion of his day either behind his desk making calls or in his car. Fred has a base salary but depends on sales for commission. He has a limited income and attempts to use finances wisely. Due to his schedule, he has few friends and little leisure time. He relays that he has been diagnosed with high blood pressure and has a family history of cardiovascular disease. In a typical day, Fred sets his alarm for 7 am and tries to get to the office by 8:30. He always drives through a donut shop and picks up a blueberry muffin and a large latte. For lunch he packs a bologna sandwich, a bag of Corn chips and a Cola and eats at his desk. After making calls and finalizing several deals, he leaves the office around 6 pm. Several times a week, he meets clients for dinner. Today he 1s having dinner with a couple of guys at a local steak house. After dinner and a business session, he returns home around 10 pm. Fred 1s exhausted but decides to unwind and watch the nightly news before bed. This is Fred’s second visit, and you complete an assessment. Age: 56 Height: 5 feet 10 inches Weight: 270 pounds Healthy Weight: 129-173 pounds You check his blood pressure, and it remains elevated. Fred appears to be having difficulty walking and is short of breath. 1. Thinking about the ABCDE method of assessments, what 2 types of assessment did you complete on this patient?

2. Using your assessment and the information you have gained from the first case study, name three diseases that Fred may be at risk for: a. Hypertension, stroke, heart disease, cardiovascular disease b. Diabetes 3. You explain to Fred that you reviewed his diet intake record and that there are several changes that he could make to improve his health. Using the dietary guidelines and myplate provide 4 suggestions to Fred to improve his diet and his health. (any of the below would be acceptable) a. avoid consuming soft drinks and drink water as much as you can b. include vegetables and fruits for half of your plate c. reduce the intake of trans fats such as butter and use healthy oils for consumption such as canola oil and olive oil d. limit eating red meats, cheese and instead choose fish, poultry, beans, and nuts as the protein source M 3 H ¥ N N I chonay N P M ~ SRS RO N IR OR O O SN ENTIN I NSNS N Y Men RN Y R AR NAEETYT OAREAN AV TS AN LA NeNY 3 2 v I ISR Y 8 Y RLL R SALEIGR U VAT AL, VRGN RO N RIUAE AN FIRLGARN R e ks N 3 FENATRY H R 3 N ~ T g S G A I TN T ooy Ny R R e A R e B T RV T I A T T S T & TR T LRI NN S N PR AR N N R K 36N 3 REREE TR NS RN T S LLUMAIUS IR Uy PERRRELARNG D A RIXNE LARR LACADCAL sy i N . .

f. 4 plate fruits/veg and "4 protein and "4 whole grains g. Limit saturated fats, lacking nutrients from fruits/vegetables, increase fiber, Increase nutrient density As you discuss some of the suggestions, Fred mentions that his PCP told him that he was at risk for diverticulitis. However, he is not familiar with this term. All he knows is that he should increase his fiber. Explain to Fred what has occurred in the colon when the diagnosis of diverticulitis is made. (3 points) Include two reasons that diverticulitis occurs. (4 points) the disease begins as pouches known as diverticula form in the lining of the digestive system, typically in the colon. When diverticula become inflamed or in some cases infected, diverticulitis occurs. reasons for diverticulitis are: obesity chronic low fiber diet Small pouches are formed, and food particles have become stuck in the pouches. These can become infected and cause pain. Age, lack of fiber and straining lead to formation of the pouches. Fred requests information on soluble fiber and insoluble fiber and how each can help improve his health. Give a brief overview and explain the difference between the two types of fiber. Give an example of a health concern or disease that each type can prevent. e Soluble fiber is soluble in water and it forms a gel-like substance when it mixes with water. Some examples of sources of soluble fibers are fruits, vegetables, peas, and oats. e Insoluble fiber is not soluble in water and does not absorb water. Some examples of sources of insoluble fibers are whole grains, seeds, and cereals This document is available free of charge on Q stUdocu Downloaded by Bridget Yaw (bridgetyaw11@gmail.com)
e The difference between the two 1s that soluble fiber dissolves in water and insoluble fiber does not dissolve in water e an example of soluble fiber is the consumption of it can reduce the blood glucose levels and thus can prevent diabetes e an example of insoluble fiber is the intake of these fibers can minimize the occurrence of constipation Insoluble (nonfermentable) Does not dissolve in water Not broken down by intestinal bacteria Increases the stool mass Speeds passage through the large intestine *Disease- diverticulitis, cancer, constipation Soluble (viscous) Does dissolve in water Is broken down by intestinal bacteria Slows glucose absorption and can lower cholesterol Provides satiety to a meal *Disease- obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, metabolic syndrome X 6. As the session concludes, you recommend that Fred consider a vegetarian style of eating, at least for several days a week. Review the difference between a semi vegetarian, a lacto-ovo vegetarian and a pesco vegetarian. e Semi-vegetarians diet consists of fish or poultry and excludes the intake of red meat Downloaded by Bridget Yaw (bridgetyaw11@gmail.com)
e Lacto-ovo vegetarians diet includes the consumption of eggs and dairy products but does not include animal flesh e Pesco vegetarians take fish for their diet but do not consume other types of animal flesh Semi-vegetarian usually will include fish and poultry in their diet, but no red meat. Lacto-ovo vegetarian includes milk and eggs, but no animal flesh Pesco vegetarian will include fish but no other animal flesh This document is available free of charge on Q stUdocu Downloaded by Bridget Yaw (bridgetyaw11@gmail.com)
