obese; physical exam: BP, distribution of adiposity (central vs. generalized), markers of comorbidities and genetic
syndromes (Prader Willi syndrome); CONSIDER labs in patient with family hx or heart disease risk factors: fasting lipid
profile, fasting glucose and/or hgb A1C, ALT)

181
Q

An 8yr old patient presents to your clinic with a BMI-for-age of 89th percentile. When you check the chart from
previous visit, you note her BMI-for-age was 95th percentile 6 months ago. What weight status category is this
patient currently? What weight status category were they at their last visit? As the FNP, how would you proceed?

A

overweight currently, obese at previous visit; this change in weight especially given the timeframe it occurred
prompts the FNP to discuss with the patient whether they have any concerns regarding weight, and if they are trying to lose
weight. Explore the patients eating habits and discuss with the parent if you’ve noticed any changes in behavior around
mealtime or sudden increase in activity. Inspect patients back (possible bruising associated with increased sit-ups)

Q

Prior to this discussion, you complete your physical exam and note this patients BP is 91%. What does this value
indicate regarding the patient? What would you do first? What things should be considered?

suggests pre-HTN; you must reassess BP in that visit and evaluate if patient has any risk factors

184
Q

You’ve determined the BP should be re-checked in this current visit – and decide to do so yourself. What are the
appropriate steps to take? When determining the proper cuff size for this patient you choose?

A

sit in quiet room for at least 3-5min, feet uncrossed on floor; measure in right arm for consistency (avoids false
low readings from left arm in the case of coarctation of aorta); arm at heart level supported; length should be 80-100% of
circumference of arm and width 40% à adult cuff)

185
Q

The repeat BP is 120/80. What category is this considered? Likely, the cause of the previous falsely elevated BP
reading was?

A

normal BP; white coat syndrome, improper cuff size/measurement techniques, or use of stimulants

186
Q

You’ve completed your exam and move onto discussing patients BMI. After discussing this information with the
adolescent and their parent, you determine increased resistance and unwillingness to change from both parties. How
would you proceed?

A

early intervention is IMPORTANT to decrease future co-morbidities. Due to increased resistance to make lifestyle
modifications, the FNP should consider the use of Orlistat, a lipase inhibitor approved in children >12 yr. old. You
would still provide counseling regarding weight management in addition (age 12-18yr @ 95-98% should lose 2lb/wk).
Counsel on sedentary lifestyle and electronic use recommendations. Schedule follow-up with patient in 4 weeks.

187
Q

Patient returns to your clinic for his 4-wk follow-up appointment. His BMI is re-checked and is 93%. What weight
status category is this?

A

overweight

188
Q

You inquire from the patient whether he is taking steps to actively lose weight in which he states he has increased
physical exercise and monitoring weight loss per week. From the previous BMI of 95th percentile to his current 93%
- would you instruct the patient to continue losing weight OR maintain weight?

A
maintain weight (age 12-18yr: once you’ve reached 85 to <95% range, you can maintain weight); however, being
this patient is still considered OVERWEIGHT you would reiterate the need for continued physical activity daily (60min per
day) and healthy eating choices.
189
Q

Following the appointment, you conduct a “self-assessment” on yourself and how you handled that patient
encounter. You are comfortable with your recommendations because you are aware that this 13-yr. old male is
