Hi,
Please read the attachment...case study....Also please respond in a word doc and cite your sources.
-Thanks
Jordan is a 14 year old middle school student, weighing 275 pounds and is 5â6â tall. Over the past 2 years, he has gained 60 pounds, as he has begun to withdraw from social activities, and avoid other students, due to bullying from others his age about his weight/appearance. Lately, Jordan has been missing a great deal of school too, particularly on the days he has gym. Jordanâs parents are both average in height and weight, and Jordanâs mother says that he just takes after his grandfather William, who âwas a husky man, and died of a sudden heart attack at the age of 44â. She says âWe just have fat genes in the family; you canât do anything about thatâ!
He has been told he had âno willpower, or is weak, or that he needed to change his lifestyle, eat less and exercise more.â Jordan says âI go for a couple days without eating, but then I get so hungry that I could eat the couchâ! You are the school nurse doing height and weight assessments on the middle school group this year. How would you assess and advise Jordan?
