Answer:

Keep dietary cholesterol intake < 300 mg per day

Increase intake of fish oils

Increase intake of dietary fiber

30 minutes of aerobic exercise daily

Explanation:

First, Ms. West has hyperlipidemia. "Hyper" meaning high, "lipid" meaning fat, and "emia" means pertains to blood. Ms. West has an abnormally high concentration of fats/lipids in her blood.

NO - Trans-fatty acids are the worst type of fat you can eat as they raise your bad cholesterol (LDL) and lower your good cholesterol (HDL) levels.

YES - If you have risk factors for heart disease, you should not consume more than 200 milligrams of cholesterol a day. If you do not have risk factors for heart disease, you should limit your cholesterol intake to no more than 300 milligrams a day.

YES - Fish Oils (Omega-3 Fatty Acids) have been widely reported as a useful supplement to reduce fasting blood triglyceride levels in individuals with hyperlipidemia. Omega-3 fats can slightly raise your low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, but taking it does more good than bad, for example regular Omega-3 Fish Oil supplements will:

Lower blood pressure.

Reduce triglycerides.

Slow the development of plaque in the arteries.

Reduce the chance of abnormal heart rhythm.

Reduce the likelihood of heart attack and stroke.

Lessen the chance of sudden cardiac death in people with heart disease.

YES - Increasing the intake of dietary fiber would be helpful to help "flush" out some of the lipids that are trapped inside her body. Fiber may also indirectly decrease insulin secretion because of impaired or delayed carbohydrate absorption. Insulin stimulates hepatic VLDL synthesis, and therefore plasma lipid levels may also be affected. In summary, specific dietary fibers may be of value in the therapy of hyperlipidemia.

YES - Daily exercise is always helpful! Fat is an extremely important substrate for muscle contraction, both at rest and during exercise. Triglycerides (TGs), stored in adipose tissue and within muscle fibres, are considered to be the main source of the free fatty acids (FFAs) oxidised during exercise. Also, if Ms. West continues to eat a healthy diet and exercise, she will eventually lose adipose tissue (fat) and therefore improve her hyperlipidemia.

I am no expert, but I have taken many nutrition classes, so I hope that helped! :)

1. Identify activities that a 24 year old female can do to improve cardio respiratory function.

- The basic soccer endurance exercises that she can do are: running, interval training, squats and lunges.

Running is very important because it is essentially what a player does 90% of the game and it also helps breathing and blood circulation. Interval exercises on the other hand is the transition from moderately paced exercise to fast paced exercise. The basic example for this is the quick transition from slow jogging to sprinting in a period of time. Lastly, squats and lunges are important to build and tone the muscles in the thighs and legs which is necessary to be effective in kicking the ball around the field.

2. How long should these activities last?

-Running could last up to 60 minutes daily. The important thing is to pace yourself slowly at first and then gradually building up your speed so that your body can get accustomed to it.

Interval exercises can last up to 30 minutes. For example 30 seconds of slow jogging then 15 seconds of sprinting then rest for 30 seconds. Resume this cycle for 30 minutes.

Squats and Lunges are usually done at the end of the training at cool down in order for your leg muscles to relax and prevent sprains and painful stretches. Do each exercise observing proper form and posture for at least 1 minute each.

3. What specific heart rate range should be maintained during her workouts to achieve cardio respiratory benefits?

- For a normal 24 year old female, the ideal heart rate range to maintain is 60-100 beats per minute. When you experience difficulty in breathing, dizziness and fatigue, take a rest n between exercises.

A woman who is breastfeeding her newborn says, "He doesn't seem to want to nurse. I must be doing something wrong." After teachi

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

The best answer to the question: After teaching the woman about breastfeeding, which statement by the mother indicates the need for additional teaching? would be: "Even after trying what you taught me, I still cannot get him to nurse. Maybe I am one of those women who cannot breastfeed."

Explanation:

The process of breastfeeding an infant can be a pretty difficult and even frustrating one for women. There is a misconception about the process regarding the belief that women are genetically, and naturally, prepared to perform this task, and thus, women who find it difficult, tend to believe they are incapable. Breastfeeding takes a lot of time, it is not an in-born characteristic, it is a learned response, and the success on it depends on the time, and patience dedicated to appropriately learn the techniques that work and those that don´t. The response given above by this woman shows that she still believes she is incapable because her baby is still not nursing as she wants him to, but what she is not taking into account is that nursing takes time, practice, and continuous learning. Therefore, at this statement, a nurse must know that further teaching, and even counseling, is necessary.
