Throughout this course we explored how each body system responds to bouts of aerobic and resistance exercise. In this final paper, you will use knowledge from each week to craft an Exercise Plan for a fictitious client. Please include the following components in your paper, citing all resources you use in the text as well as in your reference list. 1. Your client’s baseline information (age, sex, BMI, percent body fat, resting HR and estimated VO2max). Since this is fictitious, you can use your own data or make it up as long as it’s realistic. 2. Your client’s goal(s). Some examples include increasing their aerobic fitness, increasing muscular strength or muscular endurance, improving their body composition, etc. Remember that goals should be “SMART” – specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and timely. 3. A detailed 4-week exercise plan that you design to help them reach their goal(s). Include the modes of exercise, intensity, duration, frequency and how the individual would progress as they saw improvements. You can summarize these components in a table or use bullet points for clarity. 4. Include a summary describing the rationale for your plan. Include data from at least 3 research articles that support your proposed exercise plan and its ability to meet your client’s goal(s).

A new primary care physician moved into the area and approached your hospital to partner with her as she begins a new practice in the community. Because the administration is always anxious to welcome new practitioners to the hospital, you agree to meet with the physician. During the meeting, the physician explains that she wants to establish the first concierge medical practice in the community. The physician plans to attract around 100 families to her practice, and she plans to charge from $300 to $1,000 per month, depending on the size of the family unit. (Note: A goal of 100 families may not be realistic; however, the number makes for easier calculations). The patients who join the concierge practice will receive access to the physician’s services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, at an office located near the hospital. Families will receive preventive care services, and the physician will design wellness programs to encourage healthy lifestyles for her patients. The physician will use the hospital for all emergent care, day surgeries, rehabilitation, and in-patient care. The physician also plans to use nutritionists and the hospital’s fitness center facilities.In this case study. Discuss some of the goods or services that could be highlighted in a marketing campaign that involves a concierge practice of medicine. What advantages do you think a concierge practice of medicine might contribute to the hospital’s offerings of products to the community? Discuss some of the issues and challenges that may arise from the hospital sponsoring a concierge practice of medicine. Resources: Goldman, D. P., Vaiana, M., & Romley, J. A. (2010).

Hernandez, Foundation Concepts of Global Community Health Promotion and Education, Chapter 6, pgs. 179 & 181 Your philosophy can change after you have written it.  As your knowledge base increases and you become more aware of additional health issues in your health studies, you may want to modify or change your philosophy.  New and emerging health issues may shift your philosophy.  In addition, many health educators develop more specific philosophies during their internship and once employed in the health field.  Experience helps solidify your philosophy.  However, it should always be a work in progress, as professional health issues change and new issues surface.  Most health educators will tell you that with proven empirical research, technological advances, and improved preventive techniques and treatment options, a personal health philosophy can and should change over time.

Describe who was involved in the assessment of this patient and what was your role within this process? You should include what examples of assessment tools were used during the course of this scenario and which member of the team was involved with applying the tool during the assessment process. These tools need to be evidenced based and currently being used within your clinical setting. If you refer to assessment tools you should use your appendix to give examples of such tools.   7.       You will need to outline the care planning stage for this patient and what goals were identified. You will need to demonstrate ability to prioritise the care planning according to immediate and intermediate goals, when they will need to be reviewed and by whom.

Case Study: this should be a proper case study with realistic issues and not just one or two lines  What are the main safeguarding concerns in your case study  What needs to be done to safeguard the adult or child in your case study and why (you can use a serious case review that is in the public domain and that bears similarities to your own case study as a method of illustrating your points)  Is there a need for a multi-professional approach  What legislation is relevant to the safeguarding concerns in your case study and why. Include two or three with a brief explanation of their relevance.  Choose one of your legislation to critically evaluate showing its strengths and limitations (show your knowledge of appropriate legislation used to inform the practice of professionals). How well will this piece of legislation safeguard the adult or child in your case study and what are it’s limitations (here again you can use research or cases in the public domain to illustrate your points and provide some evidence-base for your discussion Provide a conclusion: include what knowledge you have gained and how you will use this in the future
