Jordan is a 14 year old middle school student, weighing 275 pounds and is 5’6” tall. Over the past 2 years, he has gained 60 pou

nds, as he has begun to withdraw from social activities, and avoid other students, due to bullying from others his age about his weight/appearance. Lately, Jordan has been missing a great deal of school too, particularly on the days he has gym. Jordan’s parents are both average in height and weight, and Jordan’s mother says that he just takes after his grandfather William, who “was a husky man, and died of a sudden heart attack at the age of 44”. She says “We just have fat genes in the family; you can’t do anything about that”! He has been told he had “no willpower, or is weak, or that he needed to change his lifestyle, eat less and exercise more.” Jordan says “I go for a couple days without eating, but then I get so hungry that I could eat the couch”! You are the school nurse doing height and weight assessments on the middle school group this year. How would you assess and advise Jordan?

Going without eating isn't a solution. For one, that just makes you more hungry and more likely to eat junk food. Secondly, if your body doesn't receive new nutrients, it will start to save the energy it already has. This makes you less likely to lose weight.

Instead of not eating altogether, eat healthy snacks that are high in protein and low in carbohydrates and fat. Vegetables, nuts, and fruits are all great snacks. Come to school more often on gym days, to help you get more exercise, and spend about an hour outside doing physical activities every day. Go for a walk around your neighborhood.

Ignore the bullies, they just feel bad about themselves and take it out on you.

There are two basic ideas that are key to Darwin's Theory of Evolution. The first is that present day species are descendants of
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer: Natural selection is the driving force to explain the mechanisms  of  evolution.

Explanation:

◼In a given population Organisms usually produce more offspring than what the environment can support.  

◼ VARIATION, is driving force  for  the manifestation of  sustainable inheritable characteristics from parents in a given population.

◼ Organisms, who acquired certain characteristics from variation; tend to survive than others, and therefore pass these inheritable characteristics to their offspring.

◼There is competition for the available resources among the offspring which leads to a stable population in size after a period of time.

◼Darwin deducted that, variants of best adaptation will be selected for by natural conditions operating in the environment of the population at that particular period (natural selection).Therefore natural selection takes place, and the organisms with best variation will have selective advantage above others. Consequently they have higher survival rates compare to others in the population.

This is   survival of the fittest by natural selection , this is the second conclusion  of Darwin theory.
