Sherman is a 65-year-old, sedentary male with Heart Failure (HF). He weighs 200 lb, is 5’8” tall. He has a cardiac output of 4.0 L/min and his left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is 40%. He is referred to you by his cardiologist who would like him to begin exercising in your cardiac rehabilitation facility. Discuss how heart failure affects Sherman’s physiology and the compensatory mechanisms to maintain circulation. How will this limit his ability to exercise?
As his clinician you need to design an 8-week exercise program for Sherman. Before you develop an exercise program, you evaluate his VO2max, which is 20 mL/kg/min. Specify the optimal training program including intensity and duration that would yield the greatest improvement in his cardiovascular function and explain why. Outline Sherman’s expected cardiovascular (central and peripheral) and pulmonary adaptations to exercise. How would you evaluate his cardiopulmonary performance before and after the 8-week exercise program to determine if the program was successful?

Stage 3: Your daughter is now 6 years old and is coming in for a MicKey GT for supplemental feedings overnight to help increase her weight gain. She has become a bit more independent with her ostomy and is able to help with emptying the bag into the toilet. She no longer pulls at the bag or wafer but has a nice cover over it to “keep her friend warm” and calls it her poop collector friend. We have told her that she is getting a feeding friend to keep the poop collector friend company as she tends to get lonely when she is in school. Your nurse needs to provide preop education and preop teaching about surgery and what to expect after surgery, as she will be going to surgery this afternoon.
