Question

In this discussion, you will be responding to four cases in groups of three (selected by the faculty). Please review each case and provide a summary listing of three self-care/community strategies to improve health and wellness with the rationale for the selection. Also identify two potential barriers to your strategies and how each can be overcome. Case 2: Danni is a 12 year old who is obese. She weighs 175 pounds and her BMI is 31. She has two older brothers who are athletes; one in baseball and one a wrestler. Danni's mother and father are average weight but do not exercise. Danni has been struggling with her weight for the past two years. She was thin up until her pre-teen years. At home, Danni seems to be eating healthfully. That is, her mother provides nutritious meals and does not allow any sugar laden snacks in the house. Danni does fairly well in school; Bs mostly. She does have a small group of friends. Some are overweight and others not. Her recreational activities are mostly shopping at the mall and going to her friend's homes. She appears to be happy most of the time but is very sensitive about anyone who talks with her about her weight. She typically sighs and says, "I know I am fat!"
