2. Mr. Hall is a 52-year old male with a high-stress job in the financial sector. He complains to an examining healthcare provider that he has been experiencing palpitations, headaches, difficult to sleep, and seemed to always be coming down with a cold. Mr. Hall wondered if the provider could “give him something” to get good night sleeps and manage his problems. Mr. Hall is married with two college-attending children, and is a self-described workaholic. He takes an occasional walk on weekends but otherwise has no regular physical exercise regimen. He smokes several cigarettes a day and has a habit to binge drink alcohol on weekends. He states that his diet is pretty much whatever the nearest restaurant is serving that day during weekdays. His BMI is 28, which falls within the overweight range. Otherwise, his physical examination is unremarkable. a) What is Mr. Hall likely experiencing and what is the rationale for your response? b) If you were the nurse, how would you comment and/or what would you recommend on Mr. Hall’s adaptation strategies?
