MAKE A SCIENTIFIC (must include author and year published) AND SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS OF THIS DX. SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS: SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS: Main Dx: Imbalanced nutrition less than body requirements related to Lacto-Ovo vegetarian diet as evidenced by lack of essential minerals & nutrients (Iron, Zinc & Omega Fatty-acids) SCENARIO: Aubrey, 19 years old, an incoming college freshman student went to Ateneo De Manila Health Services for physical examination. The nurse gathered the following information: Height: 5 ft Weight: 48 kg Vital signs: Temp 37.2C, Pulse rate: 95 beats per minute, Respiration rate: 12 breaths per minute, and BP: 100/70mmHg. Family History of illness: Father (+) Hypertension (HPN), and Diabetes Mellitus (DM) Present Health History: Aubrey never experienced to get hospitalized as far as she can remember. Her mother ensures that she takes daily supplemental vitamins such as vitamin C and B complex, and every year she gets flu vaccine from their family doctor. During the interview with the nurse, Aubrey mentioned that she has no known allergies. She said “I don’t think I have any problems with my health. I am lacto-ovo vegetarian. Most of the time I hang out with my friends for a tea or coffee. Although I think everything’s okay, I still would like to be active, and do activities that won’t take up so much of my time but help me lose few pounds to 45 kg. I just live across this university, although I walk to church every Thursday, Friday, and Sunday for 15 minutes, I think it’s not enough. Last month, during the enhanced community quarantine, I gained 2 kg.” CBC and X-ray results were reviewed by the doctor and noted with normal findings.
BMI
The body mass index (BMI) is an important index for relating weight to height. It is a measurement that is a weight-to-height ratio. It is a better way to see whether our weight is proportionate to our height. BMI, formerly known as the Quetelet index, is a metric used to assess an individual's nutritional status. A high BMI can indicate a high level of body fat. Indeed, knowing our BMI can help us determine any health risks we may face if it is above the healthy range. Adults with a BMI between 25 and 29.9 are classified as overweight; an adult with a BMI of 30 or above is classified as obese; a BMI less than 18.5 is considered underweight, and a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered healthy.
Obesity
Obesity is when excess fat is stored in adipose tissue resulting in an increase in weight and clusters of health problems like diabetes, cancer, and heart diseases. Mostly high intake of calories gives rise to obesity. Calculating BMI, skinfold test, waist to hip comparison, and screening test are ways to diagnose obesity.
