To describe: The recommended approach to treatment for Person T based on a staged treatment plan for pediatric obesity.
Introduction: Pediatric obesity is a nutritional disorder that can cause serious health concern in affected children. Therefore, a systematic approach should be followed for proper assessment for nutritional intervention to treat them. The staged treatment is a four-stage based approach for the treatment of pediatric obesity. These stages are as follows:
1. Stage 1 (Prevention Plus).
2. Stage 2 (Structured Weight Management).
3. Stage3 (Comprehensive Multidisciplinary Approach).
4. Stage 4 (Tertiary Care intervention): this stage is for highly obese children who had previously failed other interventions.

- The screening cut-off point for the new diabetes screening test was lowered to 130mg of blood glucose per 100ml. Using this cut-off point, 230 people tested positive on the screening test. Of these, 66 people tested negative on the “gold standard” diagnostic test (that is, they did not have diabetes). The data are in the table below.

Ofirmev is supplied in a 100 mL glass vial containing 1000 mg acetaminophen (10 mg/mL). How much acetaminophen (in grams) will the child receive in a 24-hour period? Answer must be numeric. Do not include units. Do not round answer.arrow_forwardAzithromycin can be administered either orally as a slow release of active ingredients (known as extended release) or intravenously (IV) into the bloodstream (known as immediate release). Calculate the appropriate dosage of both extended and immediate release azithromycin for a 17.0 lb patient. Orally administered extended-release azithromycin dosage for a child is 60 mg per kg of body weight. Calculate the dosage in mg of azithromycin for a 17.0 lb child. IV administered immediate-release azithromycin dosage for a child is 10 mg per kg of body weight. Calculate the dosage in mg of azithromycin for a 17.0 lb child.arrow_forward
