Mr. C is currently obese at 295.9 pounds and has several obesity-related health issues. He has high blood pressure, sleep apnea, elevated cholesterol, and high triglycerides. He is at risk for developing diabetes and heart disease if he does not lose weight. Bariatric surgery could help Mr. C dramatically improve these conditions and reduce his health risks by helping him lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle. The post identifies five actual problems Mr. C faces - hypertension, sleep apnea, elevated cholesterol, elevated triglycerides - and two potential problems - diabetes and heart disease. These problems could seriously impact Mr. C's health if not properly addressed.

Hello i need a Good and Positive Comment related with this argument .A paragraph with no
more 100 words.Chinyere Ojiyi 4 postsRe:Topic 5 Mandatory Discussion QuestionThe
association of obesity with chronic diseases, such as heart disease, hypertension, sleep
apnea, degenerative joint disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease, asthma, and depression,
is well documented and reinforces the benefit of achieving and maintaining a “normal”
weight. Bariatric surgery provides dramatic improvement in these chronic conditions. Mr. C
is currently obsessed at 295.9 pounds. Has high blood pressure, sleep apnea, fasting blood
sugar over and above acceptable parameters. Elevated Cholesterol and triglycerides. He is
at risk for diabetes and heart disease. He will benefit from bariatric surgery and be able to
this condition.Mr. C to take Sucralfate/Carafate 1 g or 10ml suspension (500mg / 5mL) 1
hour before meals and at bedtime at 6am., 11am., 5pm and 10pm.Magnesium
hydroxide/aluminum hydroxide (Mylanta) 15 mL PO 1 hour before bedtime and 3 hours
after mealtime and at bedtime. To be taken at 10am, 3pm., and 9pm.Take Ranitidine
(Zantac) 300 mg PO at bedtime.Health-perception: Mr. C. has a good perception of his
health, understands the health danger and risks he is running and seeking information to
help him achieve optimal health.Health-management: Mr. C. has HTN, and has sleep apnea.
Manages his HTN with low Sodium diet.Nutritional-metabolic: Has gained approximately
100 pounds in the last 2-3 years. Patient eats 3 meals per day and a bedtime snack. Patient
has high cholesterol and high triglyceride and his fasting glucose is146mg/dl. These are
indication of poor nutritional choices and possibly poor metabolism.Elimination: Not
statedActivity-exercise: Patient works at catalog telephone center. Probably sits all day, no
exercise or activity was noted.Sleep-rest: Patient has sleep apnea. Sleep apnea can lead to
heart disease if untreated.Cognitive-perceptual: No impairment statedSelf-perception/Self-
concept: Mr. C. is aware of his obesity and is ready to take measures to correct it.Role-
relationship: Not statedSexuality-reproductive: not statedCoping-stress tolerance: Not
stated.What actual or potential problems can you identify? Describe at least Five problems
and provide the rationale for each.Actual problems are hypertension, sleep apnea, elevated
cholesterol, elevated triglycerides. Potential problems include diabetes, heart disease,
stroke, peripheral, vascular disease etc. Mr. C needs to lose weight or he will become
diabetic. He may already be, but he is unaware, his MD needs to order Hgbaic. Both elevated
cholesterol and triglycerides are precursors to heart disease. Sleep apnea if untreated can
lead to heart disease. He can die in his sleep due to insufficient oxygen to the brain. There is
a high reduction in mortality rates with bariatric surgery. There is a significant

pressure, diabetes, and heart disease, and stroke.Expert Solution
PreviewIntroduction:Obesity is a major health concern that is associated with chronic
diseases such as heart disease, hypertension, sleep apnea, degenerative joint disease,
gastroesophageal reflux disease, asthma, and depression. Bariatric surgery has been found
to provide a dramatic improvement in these chronic conditions. This post discusses the case
of Mr. C, who is overweight, has high blood pressure, sleep apnea, elevated cholesterol and
triglycerides, and is at risk for diabetes and heart disease. The post identifies actual and
potential problems that Mr. C may face and provides the rationale for each
problem.Answer:1) Actual problem one: HypertensionRationale: Mr. C has high blood
pressure, which is a risk factor for heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease. If left
unmanaged, it can cause significant health complications.2) Actual problem two: Sleep
ApneaRationale: Sleep apnea can lead to insufficient oxygen intake, which can cause high
blood pressure and heart disease if left untreated.3) Actual problem three: Elevated
cholesterolRationale: Elevated cholesterol levels can lead to the development of heart
disease, which is a major health problem associated with obesity.4) Actual problem four:
Elevated triglyceridesRationale: Elevated triglycerides are also a precursor to heart disease
and can cause significant health complications.5) Potential problem: DiabetesRationale: Mr.
C has fasting blood sugar above acceptable parameters, and poor nutritional choices can
lead to diabetes, which is a significant health concern. Mr. C may already have diabetes, and
his MD should order Hgbaic to determine whether this is the case.6) Potential problem:
Heart diseaseRationale: Mr. C has several risk factors associated with heart disease,
including hypertension, sleep apnea, high cholesterol, and high triglycerides. Without
weight loss and proper management, Mr. C is at risk for developing heart disease.In
conclusion, Mr. C faces many actual and potential health problems due to his obesity, poor
nutritional choices, and sedentary lifestyle. Bariatric surgery may be a life-saving
intervention that can help Mr. C achieve and maintain a healthy weight and reduce his risk
of chronic diseases associated with obesity.
