Client

Mary is a 42 years old lady living in Michigan. Mary was born and brought up in Michigan, and she lives with her family. Mary is married, and she is a mother of two daughters, both of who are schooling. Mary has diabetes, and she constantly suffers from myocardial infarction. Mary was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of thirty years and has been over the years under medication. At the age of thirty-five years, Mary started developing signs of myocardial infarction. She has suffered the disease severally over the years, with almost one incidence occurring every year. Mary does not have not been taking physical exercises seriously. According to her, other than walking, she does not take any other form of physical exercise. She also confirms that since she developed diabetes, she only walks a few times a week and for a very short distance just to get her necessities. She thus does not take physical exercises. This program will introduce weekly physical exercise as a way of protecting her from regular myocardial infarction cases. The weekly exercises will help strengthen the immunity of the body and prevent the buildup of cholesterol in the arteries. Different forms of physical exercises will be undertaken. These include walking, jogging, and rope skipping. These are common forms of physical exercises that do not require heavy financial investments to be achieved. As a result, Mary will be able to maintain her health without having to spend a lot of money preparing for the physical exercises.

The goal of this program is to protect Mary from her regular clinic visits due to myocardial infarction. Myocardial infarction is a dangerous disease that easily leads to fatalities, especially among people who have other underlying conditions like diabetes. Mary is thus required physical exercises to reduce the instances of myocardial infarction and keep her safe from the dangers of sudden death. The program's objective is to reduce the number of times Mary visits the clinic with myocardial infarction by two within a period of seven months by introducing her to weekly physical exercise, which will be undertaken three times a week for one hour per session. Achieving this objective will involve the contribution of both Mary and a training assistant. Since Mary has not been exercising, it may be hard for her to exercise on her own. She will thus need someone to ensure that she does not over-exercise or under-exercise. The training assistant will guide Mary through her exercises until she is in a position to exercise on her own comfort.
