Joe Davis, a 62-year-old patient, is admitted to the hospital with chest injuries after a motor vehicle crash. The client has a history of type 1 diabetes. While assessing the patient, the nurse notes that the patient has several clusters of dull red bumps, smaller than a pencil eraser, spreading to an area the size of a quarter on each lower anterior leg.

Discussion Topic# 1: What is a “shift to the left” in a CBC? Discussion Topic# 2: A father brings in his 3-year-old son, James, who was initially running a fever. He was given Tylenol, and the fever went away for 2 days. Now, however, the fever is back, and he has noted dark spots on his body and a lump in his armpit. He has been lethargic and has not wanted to eat for the last 24 hours. The physician suspects acute lymphocytic leukemia and has ordered blood chemistry studies, immunophenotyping, and bone marrow aspiration and biopsy. The father is upset and wants to know what is leukemia and how did his son catch it? How would the nurse address this question?

Kristen, who was active in competitive sports throughout high school, has decided to run a marathon with some of her college friends. She has started training and monitors her miles, time, and calories using a wrist band and training app. She is 25 years old, 5 ft, 8 in. tall, and weighs 135 lb. She eats all sorts of foods, likes fruits and vegetables, but tries to avoid greasy foods. She says coffee is her downfall—she drinks 4–6 cups a day. She doesn't like sweets, although she keeps ice cream in her freezer. A family history notes that her mother needed angioplasty to treat occluded arteries shortly after menopause and that her father is not at risk for any chronic conditions. Although she would eventually like to have children, Kristen is not pregnant now. An analysis of a 24-hour dietary recall shows the following:

Brenna and her lifelong friend Megan are catching up on the latest in each other's lives, and they are discussing how shocked they were to hear about the deaths of two of their high school classmates. Now in their late forties, Brenna and Megan have both had families and their own personal share of health issues, but no one they know in their age group has had cancer before. They feel like they're still "too young" to know people their age who pass away, let alone from cancer.

1. Megan expresses her fears about developing cancer. She tells Brenna how cancer runs in her family, with family members on both sides having had a cancer diagnosis before. Megan is paranoid that this fear is starting to take over her life because she is constantly reading about ways to prevent cancer. One of the topics that keeps getting brought up in her readings is healthy eating and foods that may cause cancer.

Which of the following is considered to be part of a "carcinogenic diet"?

2. Reflecting on what has happened to many of their classmates, Megan and Brenna realize how healthy they are compared to the majority of their graduating class. Both struggled with celiac disease and endometriosis in their twenties and early thirties, but through diet and lifestyle, they were able to manage and minimize their conditions. Neither has had a major health problem in over 16 years.

Brenna and Megan's nutritional health could be defined as what according to the Continuum of Nutritional Health?

3. Brenna and Brett's girls are now in high school. Their parents have always taught them to "choose the rainbow" in order to consume a variety of nutrients in their diet. One day, Silvia asks her mom, "Why do we even have to do this? I hate fruit." Brenna explains that certain compounds in many plant-based foods have been shown to reduce chronic disease risk.

Which of the following compounds is she talking about?

5. Brenna says that she has been keeping up with her vitamin D supplements and, after reading a recent article online, she has also been eating foods with lots of vitamins A and E, as they are both rich in antioxidants. Brenna rattles off several awesome health benefits of getting these nutrients from food. Then she lets Megan know that the real promoting factor in eating foods rich in these nutrients is that they "help keep you looking pretty longer. Why give that up a day sooner than need be?"

Which of the following are roles of vitamin E?

6. Brenna and Megan have been very busy for the past decade taking care of their growing children. They are now hoping to look after themselves a bit more. They decide to partner up and make New Year's resolutions about living a healthier lifestyle, in particular regarding the Physical Activity Guidelines.

Which goal matches the Physical Activity Guidelines?
