Jim is a 21-year-old male in his third year of college, and he has decided that it is time for him to get back in shape. During high school, Jim was active in sports and followed a healthy diet, but the demands of work and study, and his social life have taken their toll on Jim’s health. He weighs more, doesn’t exercise, drinks on the weekends, eats a lot of fast foods like hamburgers and French fries, donuts, and pizzas, and he began smoking about three years ago. Due to the pressures of study and work, Jim also gets very little sleep.


Since Jim has decided to get back in shape, his first step was to get a checkup in the school’s health clinic. During the physical exam, the nurse measured Jim’s height, weight, and blood pressure. Jim is 1.8 meters tall, weighs 90 kilos, and his blood pressure is 132/84 mmHg. Jim was not concerned until his doctor informed him that high blood pressure or hypertension is a blood pressure of 140/90 mmHg or higher. Jim’s blood pressure value qualified him as prehypertensive, which means that he has an increased risk of developing hypertension in the future. Jim told his doctor that several family members on his dad’s side of the family have hypertension, and some had died before the age of 50 of heart attacks.


Hypertension is a disease of the cardiovascular system that is correlated with an increase in heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease and vision problems. Most people consider hypertension to be a disease of middle age, but almost one in five young adults are affected as well, making it one of the major health risks facing young adults.


After speaking with his doctor, Jim realized that he knew very little about how his body worked, and had never considered how his life style choices influenced his health. He was determined to learn more about how his body functions, especially the cardiovascular system. He also wants to work on making positive changes in his lifestyle, starting with changes in his diet. He needs your help with his new objectives.


1. Identify and describe at least five risk factors that the patient has for developing disorders of the cardiovascular system. Justify your answer.


2. Explain the function of the cardiovascular system by describing the cardiac cycle and how it relates to blood pressure, how blood flows through the heart and the blood vessels, capillary exchange, and the function of all the components of blood (plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets). Use illustrations to demonstrate functions.


3. Explain the function of the respiratory system and how it works with the cardiovascular system to achieve respiration. Describe ventilation, external and internal respiration. Include illustrations of each process.


4. Explain the functions of the urinary system by describing the function of each organ, describe the nephron and its blood supply, and finally describe the process of urine formation using examples of substances that are filtered, reabsorbed and excreted. Use illustrations


5. Calculate the patient’s BMI to determine his nutritional status, and then make at least ten dietary recommendations to improve his overall health.

Critically discuss whether the conflict theory or functionalist theoretical perspective on illness is better suited to understanding the South Africa context.

Answers

The conflict theory is a more effective approach to understanding the South African context.

We can arrive at this answer because:

The conflict theory allows the analysis of all social problems based on capitalism.Questions about the precariousness of health in South African society are also seen as a product of capitalism from the conflict theory.

In the case of South Africa, capitalism and the exploitation of profit have undermined social policies since the time of colonization. This made public health difficult to be established, especially about the poorest and most devalued social classes in society.

Thus, the conflict theory allows the analysis of South African health based on the economic system established by the country, which allows for a comprehensive analysis that investigates how various factors affect this sector.

A 75-year-old man, Tony G., presented to the emergency room with fever, shortness of breath, chest pain, and severe, extremely productive cough. Tony had been a heavy smoker for almost 50 years before he quit 7 years ago, when he was diagnosed with emphysema. Tony occasionally used oxygen at home when he had difficulty breathing, and on presentation he was using portable oxygen because of his severe respiratory distress. A chest x-ray revealed a right lower lobe infiltrate, and Tony was admitted to the hospital. Sputum, urine, and blood cultures were collected.

The direct Gram's stain of the sputum specimen revealed the following:

Many neutrophils (>25 per low-power field) Rare squamous epithelial cells (<1 per-low-power field)
Many gram-positive lancet-shaped diplococci and cocci in short chains (>25 per oil immersion field)
Few gram-negative diplococci (<10 per oil immersion field)
Few gram-positive bacilli (<10 per oil immersion field)

After overnight incubation at 35C in 5% to 7% co, a blood-agar plate inoculated with the specimen revealed a mixture of two colony type. Rare, non-hemolytic, tiny, white, dry-looking colonies were present. A predominance of small, wet-looking, convex (crater-form), entire-edged colonies were also seen, with a greening of the medium around them. The urine culture showed no growth at 24 hours. All blood cultures were negative after 5 days incubation.

Required:
a. Based on the direct Gram's stain, what is the quality of this sputum specimen?
b. Is this specimen of acceptable quality to provide clinically relevant information?

What kind of exercises I can practice to improve and master being patient? ​

Answers

There are multiple methods, including both mental and physical that can improve and master being patient.

Learn a hobby or sport that rewards diligence and perseverance to improve skill or the ability to wait for an interesting conclusion, such as reading, fishing or hunting, and endurance sports that reward dedication.

The second might be relatively shallow, but still, want some physical item that you cannot yet afford very badly, forcing you to to be patient and wait for the available funds to materialize. This can be something simple like a new tech out you want to purchase.

And third, what has become my favorite and most beneficial strategy for increasing patience, never stop learning about new subjects. You may earn a doctorate degree in a given discipline, but always continue to strive to learn something new when you have almost gained 60-80% mastery of a given interest.

Physical exercises that truly do work if you take the time to do them.
