Intro: One in every 4 Americans will die of heart disease. While the
incidence for men has gotten better, for women it has not.
Instructions:
In a minimum 8-9 pages (includes cover and reference page), double
spaced document, APA format. Discuss the effects of Heart Disease
on the body of a woman in menopause. You are always welcome to
go over 9 pages, (do what you need to do to get your questions
answered). Be sure to answer each of the following questions in your
paper.
1) Which physiological (body) systems are affected by heart
disease and how are they affected. What does the disease do
to the body that is negative. (do not discuss genetic heart deformities of
the heart please)
2) What are the differences to consider if the female patient has
had the heart disease diagnosis for 25 years or was recently
diagnosed? What does their body look like inside and what is
the person thinking if they have had it 25 years? What about
newly diagnosed women? This question is more about logic
and thinking about the body systems and the persons attitude
towards the disease but there are articles that discuss the
mental part of this diagnosis.
3) What is the difference between an older woman with well-
controlled heart disease and an older woman with uncontrolled
heart disease? What are they thinking and how are they
acting? What is happening inside their body?
4) What special nutrition related considerations might there be for
the elderly woman patient with heart disease as opposed to a
35 year old female patient with heart disease? What are they
thinking and how are they acting? How is an older person’s
lifestyle different than a younger person’s?
5) Please include a cover sheet and reference page so minimum
length is 8 pages.
