sdas [7]2 years ago

Answer:

Physiological changes occur with aging in all organ systems. The cardiac output decreases, blood pressure increases and arteriosclerosis develops. The lungs show impaired gas exchange, a decrease in vital capacity and slower expiratory flow rates. The creatinine clearance decreases with age although the serum creatinine level remains relatively constant due to a proportionate age-related decrease in creatinine production. Functional changes, largely related to altered motility patterns, occur in the gastrointestinal system with senescence, and atrophic gastritis and altered hepatic drug metabolism are common in the elderly. Progressive elevation of blood glucose occurs with age on a multifactorial basis and osteoporosis is frequently seen due to a linear decline in bone mass after the fourth decade. The epidermis of the skin atrophies with age and due to changes in collagen and elastin the skin loses its tone and elasticity. Lean body mass declines with age and this is primarily due to loss and atrophy of muscle cells. Degenerative changes occur in many joints and this, combined with the loss of muscle mass, inhibits elderly patients' locomotion. These changes with age have important practical implications for the clinical management of elderly patients: metabolism is altered, changes in response to commonly used drugs make different drug dosages necessary and there is need for rational preventive programs of diet and exercise in an effort to delay or reverse some of these changes.

What is the importance of calculating your BMR
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

"Knowing your Basal Metabolic Rate is important whether you want to maintain your weight, lose weight, or even gain weight. Your BMR can help determine what number of calories you should be eating in order to meet your goals. If you want to lose weight, you will need to eat less than your BMR (or maintenance calories)"

"The higher your BMI, the higher your risk for certain diseases such as heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, gallstones, breathing problems, and certain cancers"

so basically its the energy that requires your body to work while you sit idle.  but the reason above is the importance of caculating the BMR. This is what I researched, but feel free to look more in depth about it if I didnt clear it up :)

Explanation:

"Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the minimum level of energy your body needs when at rest to function effectively including your respiratory and circulatory organs, neural system, liver, kidneys, and other organs (you even burn calories when sleeping).  About 70% of calories consumed every day are used for your basal metabolism."

Which of the following is a Healthy People 2020 objective? a. Increase vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, solid fats and adde
prisoha [69]

Answer:

b.  Increase the number of schools offering breakfast.

Explanation:

Healthy People 2020 is a US federal government program put forth by the Department of Health and Human Services to promote prevention of chronic and acute disease for US citizens of all ages.

Healthy People 2020 has over 1300 specific objectives, one of which includes increasing the number of schools offering breakfast. This is an important objective as unfortunately not all children are given a nutritious breakfast by their parents due to poverty, negligence, etc. Providing breakfast at school at no cost or a reduce cost would benefit children as a nutritious breakfast would provide them with better health and nutrition levels, in addition to starting their day with sustenance .

Option a is incorrect as solid fats and added sugars should be minimized as they are unhealthy foods.

Option c is incorrect as it is important to <em>increase</em> the proportion of children, adolescents, and adults who are at a healthy weight.

Option d is incorrect as it is important to <em>increase</em>  the proportion of schools that require daily physical education for all students.

What should you do if a resident is eating in bed
m_a_m_a [10]
Ask them what they need help with. If they cant do anything, cut the food into small pieces and slowly feed them, make sure you arent hurrying them (make sure to check they have eaten all the food before putting more in their mouth). Make sure they are sitting in the right position (90 degree angle). Make sure everything us clean before feeding, and make sure you are with them to help assist if they need anything
