Explanation / Answer
Obesity is a complex, multifactorial, and largely preventable disease, affecting, along with overweight, over a third of the world’s population today.
Definition: excessive weight that may impair health
How do we measure If someone is obese?
Body Mass Index (BMI)
BMI Categories:
Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
Overweight = 25-29.9
Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater
Causes of Obesity Causes from home, Lack of exercise, Lack of physical play, Poor nutrition and diet. Genetics, Causes from school, Lack of physical education, Lack of funding, Lack of recess "play" time, Effects of Obesity, Promote Physical Activity, Healthy School Meals
Overweight and obesity are a result of energy imbalance over a long period of time.
An energy imbalance arises when the number of calories consumed is greater than the number of calories used by the body.
Weight gain usually involves the combination of consuming too many calories and not expending enough through physical activity, although weight gain could result from one or the other.
Eating, digestion, sleeping, breathing, and movement.
Excess calories.
Physical activity
Right Approach
If your BMI is between 25 and 30 and you are otherwise healthy
Try to avoid gaining any additional weight
Look into healthy ways of losing weight and increasing physical activity
The safest strategies to consider for weight loss are increasing physical activity and considering a calorically reduced exchange diet. Reducing total caloric intake while eating a variety of foods is the safest way to lose weight in the long run.
Weight Loss Programme
Any safe and effective weight-loss program should include these components:
Healthy eating plans that reduce calories without ruling out specific foods or food groups
Regular physical activity and/or exercise instruction
Tips on healthy behavior changes that also consider your cultural needs
Slow and steady weight loss of about ¾ to 2 pounds a week and not more than 3 pounds a week (although weight loss may be faster at the start of a program)
Medical care if planning to lose weight by following a special formula diet
A plan to keep the weight off after you have lost it
Nursing care management
Nursing care management for patients with obesity includes identification of inappropriate behaviors that causes obesity, preparing a diet plan, determining nutritional knowledge, and providing information.
Importance Nutrition: more than body requirement
Disturbed Body Image
Impaired Social Isolation
Deficient Knowledge
Promotion
Food, Physical Activity, and Socioeconomic Environments
Influencing Eating and Physical Activity Behaviors
Supporting Health Services and Clinical Interventions
Barriers to the Effectiveness of Reduction of Overweight and Obesity through a Policy Approach
Conclusion:
The health risks and health care costs associated with overweight and obesity are considerable. The etiology of obesity is multifactorial, involving complex interactions among genetic background, hormones and different social and environmental factors.
A public health approach to develop population-based strategies for the prevention of excess weight gain should target factors contributing to obesity, should be multifaceted, and actively involve different levels of stakeholders and other major parties. Potential policy areas to the development and implementation of such strategies should cross from the home environment to a broader policy level of socioeconomic environments. However, there is likely to be many barriers towards strategies based on policies alone. The prevention and reduction of overweight and obesity depend ultimately on individual lifestyle changes, and further research on motivations for behavior change would be important in combating the obesity epidemic
NCLEX Question;
Which statement by the nurse is most likely to help a morbidly obese 22-year-old man in losing weight on a 1000-calorie diet?
"It will be necessary to change lifestyle habits permanently to maintain weight loss.
"You will decrease your risk for future health problems such as diabetes by losing weight now."
"You are likely to notice changes in how you feel with just a few weeks of diet and exercise."
"Most of the weight that you lose during the first weeks of dieting is water weight rather than fat."
After the nurse teaches a patient about the recommended amounts of foods from animal and plant sources, which menu selections indicate that the initial instructions about diet have been understood?
3 oz of lean beef, 2 oz of low-fat cheese, and a tomato slice
3 oz of roasted pork, a cup of corn, and a cup of carrot sticks
Cup of tossed salad and nonfat dressing topped with a chicken breast
Half cup of tuna mixed with nonfat mayonnaise and a half cup of celery
Which nursing action is appropriate when coaching obese adults enrolled in a behavior modification program?
Having the adults write down the caloric intake of each meal
Asking the adults about situations that tend to increase appetite
Suggesting that the adults plan rewards such as sugarless candy, for achieving their goals
Encouraging the adults to eat small amounts frequently rather than having scheduled meals
