Answer:

C. He has a high risk of diabetes and kidney disease

Explanation:

Plugging in all these values into the BMI composition gives us:

BMI= 250 (72)² × 703= 33.9

looking at the BMI categories, shows us that any BMI that is 30+ is considered obese which Seth clearly is.

We can cross out a nonviable option of malnutrition as it's only commonly associated with weight loss. (still some cases linked with obesity)

He's not at a slight risk of weight-related diseases as he's obese so he's already at major risk

For each scenario listed below , is a collaborative or individual decision appropriate ? explain your answer
Liula [17]

Answer:

Deciding whether to build a new baseball diamond at a nearby park : collaborative decision

-Deciding which college to attend after high school : individual decision

-Deciding how to best help a friend struggling with depression - collaborative decision

Explanation: In instances when individual decision is appropriate, the consequences of making the decision is borne by the individual making the decision, he/she enjoys the benefits, and if there are any negative results of the decision, he/she suffers these alone.

When choosing a college, the decision should be made individually for this reason.

This does not apply to deciding where to build a new baseball park, the person in charge of such a project needs to consult with other members of the community and arrive at a consensus, this is when every member agrees with the decision.

Deciding how best to help a friend should be a collaborative decision because of the risks involved. Depression is a chemical imbalance in the brain and should be treated by a medical professional. Unless, you are a medical professional, you need to include your friend's family, other friends and people you believe can advise your friend to seek the professional help he/she needs.
