What is the screening tool used to assess unhealthy weight and diabetes?
What is BMI?
The body mass index (BMI), which is a person's weight divided by the square of their height, is routinely measured at primary care visits. BMI is often used to screen for being overweight
Diabetes is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and was either a cause or contributor to more than 330,000 deaths in 2015.
Which of the following is a step to promote optimal weight?
a.) Measure BMI and waist circumference
b.) Determine risk factors for cardiovascular diseases
c.) Assess dietary intake
d.) Assess patient motivation to change
e.) Provide counseling of nutrition and exercise
f.) All the above
What is " f.) All of the above
What are the screening tools used to assess intimate partner violence, elder abuse, and abuse of vulnerable adults?
a.) HARK, HITS, E-HITS, and PVS
b.) HARK, TBI, ALS, and S&P
c.) HARK, SPY, NKE, HITS
d.) HITS, SPY, ALS, TBI
What is "a.) HARK, HITS, E-HITS, and PVS"
The USPSTF recommends several screening instruments, including:
the Humiliation, Afraid, Rape, Kick (HARK); Hurt, Insult, Threaten, Scream (HITS); Extended-HITS (E-HITS); Partner Violence Screen (PVS); and Woman Abuse Screening Tool (WAST).
The sensitivity of these tests ranged from 64% to 87% while specificity ranged from 80% to 95%.
Sensitive interviewing is essential, since, even with skilled inquiry, only 25% of patients disclose their abuse experience.
Question examples would be. “Are there times in your relationships that you feel unsafe or afraid?” “Have you ever been hit, kicked, punched, or hurt by someone you know?”
What is an example of foods that are conducive of a healthy diet?
a.) French Fries
b.) Donuts
c.) Vegetables
d.) Kolaches
What are vegetables?
A heart-healthy diet is rich in vegetables, fruits, fiber, and whole grains and is low in salt, red and processed meats, and saturated fats.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture released the 2015–2020 dietary guidelines to help clinicians and patients address the obesity epidemic more effectively.[39] Key recommendations include:
Limiting sodium intake to <2,300 mg/day since excess sodium intake can lead to hypertension, a major risk factor for CVD.
Limiting added sugars and saturated fats each to ≤10% of total calories.
Alcohol, if consumed, should be consumed in moderation.
What are the recommended physical activity guidelines for adults per week?
What is 150 to 300 minutes per week?
At least 150 to 300 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 to 150 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity each week
The USPSTF recommends referring adults with a body mass index of 30 or more to intensive, multicomponent behavioral interventions. However, it recommends individualizing decisions about referring adults without cardiovascular risks for behavioral counseling to promote physical activity, suggesting that counseling might be beneficial for persons motivated to make behavioral changes.
