Risk Stratification Case Study

Prior to completing this assignment, review Chapter 2 in the text. Any person wanting to participate in an exercise program should begin with a self-guided health history questionnaire to determine if any risks of exercise exist. Figures 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 in the text are examples of self-guided questionnaires. Individuals can be placed into one of three risk stratification categories: Lowest Risk, Moderate Risk, or Highest Risk. For this assignment, do the following:

  • Compare and contrast the function of the human body in someone who has heart disease to someone who does not have heart disease.
  • Explain four of the signs and symptoms associated with cardiovascular, pulmonary, or metabolic disease.
  • Read each case study below and assess the risks of each.
  • Place each client in one of the risk categories.
  • Fill in the Risk Stratification Worksheet.
  • Explain your reasoning for selecting the specific category. For each case study, expound on whether you feel the person should see a physician prior to initiating an exercise program and why or why not.
  • Submit your assignment and the Risk Stratification Worksheet to your instructor by Day 7.
