The health risks that Mr. C has are high blood pressure, sleep apnea, hyperlipidemia and most likely type 2 diabetes as indicated by the high fasting blood glucose, hgbA1c would give us a much better indication if this patient has diabetes. Bariatric surgery is an option for people that are considered extremely obese(BMI 40 or higher) or people who are considered obese (BMI 35-39.9) and have a serious weight-related health problem, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure or severe sleep apnea. Sometimes you can still qualify if your BMI is 30-34 and you have a serious weight-related health problem (Mayo Clinic, 2014). Mr. C has a BMI of 47.6 and has high blood pressure and sleep apnea, Mr. C may also have type 2 diabetes. He meets the guidelines to qualify for bariatric surgery. Mr. C meets the guidelines but would still need to meet certain medical guidelines to qualify for the surgery and it would have to be decided if the benefits of having the surgery would outweigh the risk of the surgery. Mr. C would also have to be evaluated to see if he is psychologically ready to undergo the surgery and deal with all the changes after the surgery. Mr. C. has been diagnosed with peptic ulcer disease and the following medications have been ordered: (a) Magnesium hydroxide/aluminum hydroxide (Mylanta) 15 mL PO 1 hour before bedtime and 3 hours after mealtime and at bedtime; (b) Ranitidine (Zantac) 300 mg PO at bedtime; and (c) Sucralfate / Carafate 1 g or 10ml suspension (500mg / 5mL) 1 hour before meals and at bedtime. The patient reports eating meals at 7 a. m., noon, and 6 p. m., and a bedtime snack at 10 p. m.
