,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. 20.2 20
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.

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.

Which drug categories are used as preferred antihypertensive
treatments in patients with metabolic syndrome? Select all that
apply.
Calcium channel blockers
Thiazide diuretics
Beta blockers
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors
Alpha blockers
Rationale
In addition to helping control blood pressure, thiazide diuretics, beta blockers,
and ACE inhibitors improve the action of insulin and thus are beneficial to
, patients with metabolic syndrome. Calcium channel blockers and alpha
blockers are metabolically neutral and are not a preferred treatment for
patients with metabolic syndrome.
p. 325
When assessing four patients who are suspected to have
metabolic syndrome, which patients would the nurse classify as
high risk of developing cardiovascular disease? Select all that
apply.
A patient with high-density lipid cholesterol level of 25 mg/dL
A patient with triglyceride level of 110 mg/dL
A patient with fasting blood sugar of 70 mg/dL
A patient with blood pressure of 120/80 mm Hg
A patient with a waist circumference of 44 inches (1.12 m)
Rationale
A patient with a high-density lipid level of 25 mg/dL may have metabolic
syndrome; note that the standard lower risk factor defining limit is 40 mg/dL.
A patient with a waist circumference of 44 inches (1.12 m) is above the upper
risk factor defining limit of 40 inches (1.02 m); this patient may also have
metabolic syndrome. All the other patients' readings are within the normal
ranges.
Test-Taking Tip: Recall the risk factor defining limits for metabolic syndrome
in both men and women. Applying this knowledge in this scenario will help
you choose the appropriate answer.
