D. K.: A Case Study

Participant has completed an adult pre-exercise screening assessment, is currently fit and has no history of medical conditions in which to influence the results or compromise wellbeing.

What do you think invades the privacy of one person? What are your expectations of privacy? Well, in the case of Carroll vs The United States, Carroll was arrested in his car for carrying alcohol during the prohibition era, establishing that one did not need a warrant to search a car because the evidence can move. In DLK’s case however, the big question was if the police could use thermal imagers, to look at the heat coming out of DLK’s house without a warrant. DLK’s privacy was not invaded because a thermal imager only shows heat loss from general areas of a home and a thermal imager is available to the public, for anyone to use. Using evidence from Carroll's case, Justice John Paul Adams statement and a brief example of how thermal imaging, one can come to a superb conclusion.

Golf is perceived as a lazy man’s sport that does not have any physical benefits. People believe that just because old people can play the sport, it is not a good source of exercise. This is dead wrong and has been proven. Neil Wolkodoff, a sports scientist, has conducted a study on the matter. Wolkodoff gathered eight male volunteers ranging from ages 26-61. Before sending the eight men out onto the course, Wolkodoff had the volunteers run threw some test exercises. He did this to get an idea of the volunteer’s baseline calorie burning. This will help to see how much golf helped in burning calories.The volunteers then played 4 nine hole rounds and had their calorie losses recorded. The volunteers lost a whopping average of 700 calories

The oldest group were much less likely than younger people to be exercising to keep fit, relieve stress/relax, keep in shape or lose weight but instead more likely to be taking part for enjoyment and social aspects or because it helps with an injury/disability

Yes, I agree with you that people are living much longer thanks to advances in technology and medicine. Thus, the older adults (I prefer to use the term older than elderly or geriatric), is one group of the population that Healthy People 2020 has assigned a separate topic of concern. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggested that any health promotion for the older adult has to take into consideration the psychosocial determinants of health. Given that older adults may not have the physical strength or stamina of the younger population, participation in physical activities should be encouraged (Healthy People 2020). If you don’t mind I would like to suggest that you include some kind of activity in your program

The DDS proposes allowance for this claimant with an EOD of 8/1/2014. The evidence in file shows a later onset date is warranted and the claimant was not insured for title II benefits at the time the disability began.

In the events of the shootings of Dallas Police Department by Micah Xavier Johnson, the DPD released and operated a robot attached with an explosive that went in and was triggered to exploded near Johnson. This action was done to end the multiple hours of gunfire between the officers and Johnson. This has now formed a debate regarding the ethics of using this form of deadly force. I believe that the DPD was correct and ethical in using this tactic for the reason that using this robot prevented hours of gunfire and possibly saved the lives of officers engaged in the gunfire between them and the shooter. Even though it’s a new irregular way to subdue the suspect with deadly force, it’s purpose to end the hour of violence and prevent any other

The patient has high BP, which along with the OA, are the only problems with his medical history. The patient wants to return to walking the 9 holes of golf that he plays with his neighbors weekly. The patient currently does not take any medication for his knee pain, as he tries to avoid medication as much as possible. The patient has openly expressed that he has not played golf for the last couple of months due to fear of bringing pain to his knees during the round. He just wants to return to walking for his round of golf, as it is something he really

My client’s, Miles Meredith, goals are to decrease disease risk, body fat, as well as improve strength, flexibility, and performance. The physical examination determined that Miles is 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighs 166lbs, and has a waist circumference of 34 inches. That puts him at a BMI of 25.24. According to the skinfold test his body fat percentage is at 15%. His other vitals are all within normal ranges. His resting heart rate is 76 bpm, and he has a resting blood pressure of 78/110 mmHg.

Patients with DKA are usually severely dehydrated. This is a result from polyuria and osmotic diuresis. Osmotic diuresis occurs when the concentration of glucose is higher than the reabsorption capacity of the kidney, so glucose remains in the filtrate. This increases the osmotic pressure which causes an increase in water and potassium to be excreted out into the

This study is to focus on the effects that exercise has on late life exercise in older adults that have limited disabilities and chronic diseases specifically arthritis and sarcopenia. Arthritis is inflammation of one or more joints. Symptoms are joint pain and stiffness, which naturally deteriorate with age. The most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis causes cartilage to break down. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder that initially sets in the lining of joints. The main goals of arthritis treatments are to reduce symptoms and improve quality

There are a number of important differences between the management of DKA in pediatrics compared to adult patients. While adults require large volumes of intravenous fluids, large volumes of fluid are harmful in pediatric DKA. The administration of IV fluids should be done very judiciously in the pediatric population. The second important difference is the administration of insulin. While insulin is bloused in the adult patient, insulin boluses are contraindicated in the pediatric patient with DKA. Monitoring and correction of potassium are heavily stress in the adult patient with

The most important part of prescribing an exercise program is the proper assessment of the client to ensure they are physically, mentally, and healthy enough to engage in a certain type of program. With any female client 55 years of age or older, risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) should always be assessed. This will help determine how to properly proceed with the development of an exercise program. According to the ACSM’s Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription, reviewing health and medical history is the first step in assessing risk for CVD (American College of Sports Medicine, 2014). If there is a known disease this puts a person at an immediate high risk for CVD and special precautions should be

(ii) The need for water aerobics among older adults: (i) Even though some level of resistance is given while exercising in the water, muscle and joint injuries are prevented when in water, as the medium is able to support most of the person's weight thereby lowering impact. (ii) Older adults get quicker results, building muscle tone and strength in water compared to that of land due to resistance provided by water. (iii) Water aerobics enhances cardiovascular health as the heart beat rate is maintained at a lower count which is just needed at that age. (iv) Land based exercises expose elders to unnecessary heat as well as other complications which is absent in water aerobics. While doing water aerobics, they are able to remain in a cool and controlled environment particularly in an indoor pool. (Carebuzz, 2009)
