Case Study

Luis is a 9-year-old Hispanic Latino male who presents to the Pediatric Clinic. His mother explains to you that she observes that  Luis sleeps with his mouth open, she hears him snoring loudly at night, and sometimes he stops breathing for a few seconds which wakes him up. She notices he looks tired and he is cranky when he wakes up in the morning. When he comes home from school he wants to take a nap. Yesterday his teacher called his mother about him falling asleep in class. He does not engage in any physical activities because he is too tired.

Your initial assessment reveals that Luis is obese. His height is within normal limits for his age at 4’8”, but his weight is 102 lbs. His ideal body weight for his age and height is 62 lbs. His body mass index (BMI) is 22.9 which places him in the 97th percentile indicating that he has obesity.

1. Discuss the statistical data for childhood obesity in the United States.

2. There are a number of aspects that play a significant role in the development of childhood obesity. Please discuss how the following factors contribute to childhood obesity:

• Biologic factors (genetics and pathophysiology of obesity)
• Dietary intake (include cultural factors)
• Environmental and behavioral factors (technology, socioeconomic status, sedentary lifestyle)

3. Luis was diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea secondary to obesity and physical inactivity.

• Explain the correlation between obesity and obstructive sleep apnea

4. Discuss other health consequences for a child who is obese.

• Explain other sources and activities on the ChooseMyPlate.gov website that will assist Luis and his mother in meeting Luis’s weight loss goal

The purpose of this assignment is to develop (a) a leadership strength-to-strategy plan, (b) a professional curriculum vitae (CV), and (c) an action plan for leadership formation. The strengths-to-strategy plan (from the Week 1 interactive) formulates a plan to guide leadership development. The CV provides the professional foundation for the DNP portfolio through documentation of professional and academic accomplishments. The action plan addresses gaps or developmental opportunities in the CV while applying strategies from the strength-to-strategy plan. The strengths-to-strategy plan, professional CV, and developmental action plan contribute to the student’s professional development of skills and competencies relevant to the DNP scholar as a leader.
