He generally liked people and was always talking about wanting to go hiking again.
When a new support person started working, Carlton started telling him how much he wanted to go on some hikes. Rob, the new support person, agreed to take him on a hike but only if Carlton could get into better shape. He also told him that it might take a few months, even if Carlton was really excited.

- uanita, a 42-year-old woman with no significant medical history, has just finished her annual medical appointment. Her doctor told her that her hemoglobin A1c is slightly elevated, putting her in the range for prediabetes. Her doctor said if she loses 5-10% of her current weight and makes better food choices, her A1c should go down and this will decrease her risk of developing type 2 diabetes in the future. Juanita stops by your office (an assistant nutrition educator) to get more information. What questions would you ask Juanita before providing any guidance?

He awakes one morning with weakness on his right side. He is a bit confused, sees double, and his speech is slurred. When he attempts to walk to the bathroom, he stumbles a few times and falls once. His wife suspects that he has suffered a stroke and calls 911. Emergency personnel arrive within minutes of her call and transport Samuel to the emergency room of the nearest hospital. Upon examination by the emergency room physician, Samuel is found to have right hemiparesis and diminished pinprick and two-point discrimination on the right side of his head and arm. His deep tendon reflexes are brisk on the right and there is a positive Babinski reflex on the right. He has difficulty articulating answers to the questions he is asked, speaking only a few words and frequently responding with just a verb or…arrow_forwardSamuel Dexter is a 52-year-old African-American man who is both a husband and father.
