David is a 58-year-old male who received a dual-chamber ICD, DDD-R, 8 weeks ago following an episode of sustained ventricular tachycardia. His ejection fraction is 32%. His ICD is programmed to deliver therapy at HR ≥ 170 bpm. He is on a beta-blocker, and his VO₂peak is approximately 14 mL/kg/min. He is deconditioned but motivated to return to activity.Using ACSM guidelines, build an exercise prescription for David. Include aerobic and resistance training FITT components. Also answer:1. David’s ICD fires at HR ≥ 170 bpm. What is the maximum heart rate he should reach during exercise, and how will medication affect the ability to use THR?2. David is 8 weeks post-implant. What resistance training restrictions remain in place, and what upper-body limitations must still be observed?3. Describe the monitoring plan during David’s exercise sessions given his ICD and low ejection fraction.

By how much does successful revascularization (CABG or PCI) typically increase a patient’s exercise work capacity compared to pre-procedure baseline?

Margaret is a 68-year-old retired teacher who suffered an ischemic stroke 5 months ago resulting in mild left-sided hemiparesis. She has a history of hypertension and atrial fibrillation and is currently on antihypertensives and anticoagulants. She is 5’5”, 172 lbs, and sedentary. Her most recent graded exercise test on a stationary bike showed a VO₂peak of 16 mL/kg/min. Her cardiologist has cleared her for Phase III cardiac rehabilitation.Using ACSM guidelines, build an exercise prescription for Margaret. Include aerobic and resistance training FITT components. Also answer:1. Which exercise modalities are MOST appropriate given her hemiparesis  (balance issues)? Explain your choices.2. List TWO special safety considerations to monitor during exercise.3. What phase of post-stroke rehabilitation is Margaret in, and what are the primary goals of this phase?

How does angina affect ventricular function during exercise?

Downsides?What are possible negatives related to community/communities? This is NOT about the readings we’ve done. This asks you to think about communities you are a part of or know about. This is also not a formal essay; I am asking you to think deeply about your own ideas and reasoning. I’m asking you to EXPLORE an idea in writing.  You do not need to respond to these questions, but they may offer you a place to start or otherwise help you find your response:What do community members have to do or be to be considered “bad” community members?  If community members aren’t fulfilling their obligations (if they have them) to the community, how does that impact the community?Can a community be harmful to its members?  Your response should be approximately 250 – 300 words; for reference these instructions are about 100 words long.

For this writing assessment, choose ONE of the following prompts to respond to:Option 1Based on the readings and resources for the week and your own critical thinking, what complications can arise with an aging society? How should social workers respond to these complications? (That is, what social work-based solutions may there be?)-OR-Option 2Poverty and aging intersect in ways that create unique challenges for older adults. Drawing on what you have learned about poverty (e.g., structural causes, effects on health, barriers to resources) and what you have learned about older adults (e.g., physical, psychological, and social aspects of aging; service needs; systemic barriers), analyze how poverty may specifically impact the lives of older adults in the United States.
