Fred is a 56 year old, single male. He is employed in sales and spends a
great portion of his day either behind his desk making calls or in his car. Fred
has a base salary but depends on sales for commission. He has a limited
income and attempts to use finances wisely. Due to his schedule, he has few
friends and little leisure time. He relays that he has been diagnosed with
high blood pressure and has a family history of cardiovascular disease.
In a typical day, Fred sets his alarm for 7 am and tries to get to the office by
8:30. He always drives through a donut shop and picks up a reduced fat
blueberry muffin and a large latte.
For lunch he packs a bologna sandwich, a bag of Corn chips and a Cola and
eats at his desk.
After making calls and finalizing several deals, he leaves the office around 6
pm. Several times a week, he meets clients for dinner. Today he is having
dinner with a couple of guys at a local steak house.
After dinner and a business session, he returns home around 10 pm. Fred is
exhausted but decides to unwind and watch the nightly news before bed.
Fred’s company is collaborating with an insurance company to begin a
wellness program. As the nurse for the wellness program, you are to meet
with each employee and complete an initial evaluation.
