HEDU 2200 health assessment midterm exam

Health Risk Assessment

Ethics:  data security, confidentiality, proper employee communication to explain the risks, informed consent from the participants

Type of Feedback:  Give them a result and suggest a program. Give counseling or not

• You do fasting glucose because you don't get an accurate reading if you have eaten because your blood sugar spikes when you eat.
• You can assess for diabetes
• Ideally it's below 100mg/DL (deciliter of blood) so between 70-100
• 101-125 prediabetes
• 125 diabetes

• The chemical form of fat in food and the body
• Excess can lead to coronary heart disease
• less than 150 is normal
• greater than 200 mg/dL is high
• Need them because body needs energy and gets it from fat. if you have too much fat you get blockages

Some is healthy because it's essential for the health of the bodies circulation system and production of key hormones

• High density level protein
• Theses are to good ones they remove excess LDLs from arteries
• If this one is low that is not good
• less than 40 mg/dL is major risk factor
• 40-60 mg/dL is good

• low density level protein
• too much LDL causes arteries to be blocked and can lead to coronary heart disease
• less than 100 is optimal
• greater than 160 mg/dL is high

• Heart rate and blood pressure
• heart rate is an indicator of heart functioning and physical fitness
• blood pressure tells us the force of blood on your vessels as it 's being pumped through the body

• glucometer measures glucose. Can help us identify diabetes or keep diabetes in check
• you calibrate the glucometer by inserting a test strip the way the arrow points
• you prick the finger and wipe the first bit of blood off
• you use the second blood after you squeeze the finger
• glucometer reads the test strip

• 60-100 bpm
• When you wake up

it depends on if you feel fine or you don't feel good. if you feel fine it means you have an efficient heart rate. If you don't feel good it could mean dehydrated of other heart problems

Your heart is not efficient it has to pump harder to get the blood through your body.  It is associated with increased risk of heart disease

120/80

It is only a problem if you have symptoms like dizziness or lightheadedness fainting or dehydration

140/90 which is hypertension which can weaken the arteries and cause ruptured arteries because it forces the left ventricle to work harder

Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood on the blood vessels arteries.

it's critical for proper gas exchange between the capillaries and the tissue fluid.  It can tell if the blood is flowing smoothly through the arteries of if there are possible obstructions which could lead to health problems

• because it partially blocks the blood flow which causes a vibration which is not otherwise audible.
• Vibrations occur when the cuff pressure is higher than diastolic but less than systolic.
• The higher number is systolic

The pressure of the blood on the vessel walls when the heart is contracting is 134 millimeters of mercury and the pressure of the blood on the vessel walls when the heart is filling is 76 milimeters of mercury

• If you don't have a stethoscope
• if the environment is too loud

the ability of the heart and lungs to deliver oxygen to the cells in support of prolonged physical activity

• It can tell you if your heart and lungs are in good shape
• You have faster recovery times between exercise sessions
• decreased blood pressure and lipids
•  increased ability to use oxygen during exercise
• increase red blood cells

VO2max

• the maximum volume (v) of oxygen (o2) in milliliters that you can use in one minute per kilogram of body weight.
• The maximum amount of oxygen that the body can use per minute of activity

• Absolute VO2max does not consider a persons weight so is not as accurate as relative VO2max
• Relative VO2max is measure in ml/kg/min - this one takes weight into account

• Max Heart rate MHR = 220 - age
• RHR - you take it with pulse x 2 for 30 sec (usually given to you)
• Intensity = percentage given to you
• First you calculate your Heart Rate Reserve HRR = Max HR - RHR
• Then you figure target heart rate
• (HRR * percent) + RHR =
