Module 1 Homework 1 Clayton and Willihnganz Pharmacology Ch 20 and 21 EAQ HW (NG) Due Sep 6, 2021 by 11:59 pm 48 out of 50 questions answered correctly Incorrect (2) Calculate the body mass index (BMI) of a patient whose height and weight are 66 inches (167.7 cm) and 125 pounds (56.7 kg) respectively. Rationale Calculate the body mass index by dividing the patient’s weight in pounds by his or her height in inches squared and multiplying the result by a conversion factor of 703. Squaring the height of 66 inches (167.7 cm) yields a value of 4356. Dividing the weight of 125 pounds (56.7 kg) by the squared height and then multiplying by 703 gives a body mass index of 20. p. 323 Which activities are important to aid in improving cardiovascular function? Select all that apply. Increasing physical activity Decreasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels Maintaining daily maximum caloric levels based on height, weight, and gender Maintaining body weight in adults within a body mass index (BMI) range of 18 to 25 kg/m 2 Reducing job-related stress Rationale Physical activity improves circulation, increases HDL levels, and burns calories. Daily maximum caloric intake of food should be based on height, weight, and gender for four different levels of physical activity: sedentary, low active, active, and very active. A BMI range of 18 to 25 kg/m 2 is considered to be a healthy BMI for adults. A study demonstrated that patients with job-related stress had a twofold increase in their risk of recurrent unstable angina and myocardial infarction. Reducing stress can reduce this risk, thereby improving cardiovascular function. To improve cardiovascular function, HDL levels should increase, not decrease. p. 323
