As science and technology continue to improve health care, our ability to prolong life increases. This can create an ethical and moral dilemma in cases when a patient faces a terminal disease. In these instances, health care providers often face a conflict of duty. There is an expectation to sustain life and relieve suffering. Conflict occurs when a patient and/or family member needs to decide whether extraordinary measures should be taken to prolong a life.
In your own words, define extraordinary measures. Provide an example of a situation in which extraordinary measures are used. In the example that you used, do you feel that it was ethical to use extraordinary measures? Why or why not? How does the use of extraordinary measures fit with a health care provider’s code of ethics? You may want to select a specific provider (e.g., cardiologist or nurse) and research that profession’s code. If you were to find yourself faced with the decision to use extraordinary measures to prolong your life or that of a family member, how would you make this decision?

A 44- year old, 179Ib corporate executive, James, was admitted to the hospital complaining of chest pain. After evaluating James, the Cardiologist determined that he was experiencing a mild heart attack.
He was immediately taken to the catheterization lab, where he was diagnosed with a significantly blocked left circumflex artery. A PTCA (angioplasty) was performed. A follow- up echocardiography test reported an ejection fraction of 55%, indicating that James had NOT suffered major heart damage. Prior to his MI, James had no health issues and was physically fit, as he was involved in a regular fitness program.
Two weeks later, James was referred to you for an exercise prescription in a phase II cardiac rehabilitation program. His only medication is a daily aspirin. A maximal treadmill exercise test taking James to volitional fatigue after his PTCA revealed the following information:
- ECG: normal sinus rhythm
- Maximal heart rate: 156 bpm
- resting HR: 62 bpm
- Peak exercise blood pressure: 150/ 90 mmHg
- resting blood pressure: 120/ 70 mmHg
Bases on the above data, choose an intensity range using the %HRR method, and determine the TIME per exercise session and the NUMBER sessions per week. His goal is to expend at least 1, 000 calories per week.
- To reach is target HR, he must jog on treadmill at 4mph @ 3% grade. use the running equation to calculate his VO2.
- calculate his NET calories burned
- Determine the number of exercise sessions per week he would need to burn at least 1,000 calories per week.
- discuss the guidelines for a phase II cardiac rehab program.
- discuss the indications and the contraindications to exercise.
- are there any other physical limitations for this patient?
- what are your recommendations for this patient with regard to diet and resistance training?
- how would you guide him with regard to tips for resistance training?
