Chapter 15, Special Considerations for Metabolic Syndrome, Hypertension, and Dyslipidemia

The patient is a 53-year-old Hispanic female who runs a successful business from home. Her job is extremely stressful and requires working long hours. She has known hyperlipidemia and has been taking a daily multivitamin and Crestor (rosuvastatin) 10 mg daily for the past 5 years. She is a previous smoker (one pack per day for 20 years) but quit around the same time she was diagnosed with hyperlipidemia. Several years have lapsed since she has gone to the doctor, but at one of her church screenings, she was told that her blood pressure was “above optimal.” She went to her doctor, and on exam, she was 65 in tall and 249 lb, and her waist circumference was 50 in. Her blood pressure and heart rate were 144/72 mm Hg and 74 bpm, respectively. Her blood lipids were within normal ranges; however, her HbA1c was elevated to 7.4%. Although her physician was concerned about her blood pressure, she was most concerned with this sudden onset of weight gain and diabetes since she quit smoking. The physician notes that the patient has something called the “metabolic syndrome” and writes a prescription for her to start taking glipizide and HCTZ to get her blood sugar and blood pressure under control. The patient leaves the office feeling shocked and saddened by this diagnosis but decides that she is going to make some lifestyle changes as she has a new granddaughter on the way.

She now presents to your facility for a supervised exercise program with no history exercising with the exception of “playing table tennis at her family picnic once a year.” She denies any symptoms suggestive of cardiovascular, metabolic, or renal disease.

Case Study Questions

1.   According to current ACSM guidelines for preparticipation health screening, does the patient require medical clearance prior to beginning an exercise program?

2.   Based on what the patient has told you, what exercise prescription guidelines should be most closely followed and why?

3.   List the medications that the patient takes daily and determine how they may adversely interact with an exercise training program.

REDUNDANCY
Redundancy is when an employee is no longer required to work, through no fault of their own.
Redundancies occur when employees are dismissed because their job no longer exists. Usually
this happens when the employer no longer requires that job to be done by anyone and hence that
job becomes redundant. Redundancy is caused by a mix of factors such as decline in level of
economic activity in the organization, technological changes, cost reduction initiatives,
downsizing, merging with another company, economic recession, and business relocation among
other many factors. The right to be collectively consulted applies when an employer proposes to
make 20 or more employees redundant at one establishment over a period of 90 days or less.
Employers should also consult individual employees. Case law has shown that dismissals have
been found to be unfair where a union has been consulted but not the individual. In the UK,
employees who are selected for redundancy must be given a notice period before their
employment ends. The statutory notice periods are:
 At least one week's notice if the employee has been employed between one month and
two years
 One weeks notice for each year of employment between two years and 12 years
 12 weeks notice for someone who has been employed for 12 or more years.
Fortunately, employers have a free hand in setting the selection criteria they want to use. As long
as the criteria are measurable and applied fairly, then a tribunal is unlikely to interfere. TEBOGO
INTERNATIONAL Botswana, a mining giant, for some of these reasons, is deciding to lay
redundant some of its employees. The company however is not aware of important factors for its
redundancy selection process.
Required:
Advise, with practical justifications, the most important factors that Tebogo International Pty Ltd
has to consider to ensure its redundancy selection criteria are objective and fair.

Rachael Tomkins is 55 years old and is a certified practising accountant. She works part time and lives with her husband Paul, aged 64 and daughter Marie, aged 17. Her grandmother Jean aged 90, lives in a small flat at the back of their house and her mother Mary, aged 72 lives in an Over 55s housing unit nearby. In her early 20s Rachael’s father, a Vietnam Veteran, committed suicide. Rachael is described by her family as reliable and caring. She has a small group of friends from her local parish church. Rachael has regular contact with her GP to manage her Diabetes Type 2. She is prescribed metformin and has been trying to lose weight. She also sees a psychiatrist Dr Lianne Yu for management of her symptoms of schizophrenia. She is prescribed Olanzapine and Lithium. She was diagnosed with schizophrenia in her early 20’s when she was studying at university. She was hospitalised with acute psychosis several times before her symptoms were stabilised. She was able to complete her university degree and has worked part time. The last time she experienced acute psychosis was 17 years ago, just after the birth of her daughter. Her symptoms stabilised, and she has been maintained in recovery for almost 15 years. This year has been a particularly challenging year for Rachael. Both her husband’s parents passed away within months of each other, her daughter commenced Year 12 and her grandmother had an infection in her middle toe, which resulted in a series of trips to the doctor, hospitalisation and finally amputation of the affected toe. Rachael has become irritable with her family, and has developed erratic sleeping patterns, a lack of interest in grooming, and avoided social interactions with her friends or family. She complained to them that her neighbours were spying on her. In the 48 hours before she was admitted to hospital two incidents escalated Rachael’s need for professional help. In the first episode she yelled and threatened the neighbour across the fence. She accused him of spying on her with a ‘trackamanometer’. Her husband intervened and took her back into the house. In the second incident later that day, Rachael started screaming at her family to evacuate the house because they would be bombed. Rachael insisted the news reader on the TV was giving her this important information and they must all get out of the house. Rachael ran onto the road. A concerned neighbour called the police, who were able to convince her to accompany them to the hospital. She was met by her psychiatrist Dr Yu who reports the following -Rachael is dishevelled, dressed in pyjama top and tract pants, no shoes, she has an exacerbation of auditory hallucinations, with persecutory delusions and disorganised thinking. Rachael agrees to be admitted because she says ‘I’m frightened’. Rachael is admitted for inpatient psychiatric care.
In hospital, Rachael is argumentative and resistive to staff interactions and interventions, and her family are frightened and bewildered by her dramatic deterioration.
