Description Ms Fletcher is 22 years old and has just recently graduated from nursing school and is looking for full-time work. She resides with two other recently graduated roommates, both of whom work an overnight shift at a local hospital. Her apartment building is known to be fairly quiet and well kept. R.T.F has 1 sibling, a brother, age 27. Her mother is 57 years old and living with Crohn’s Disease since 1990. Her father, 68 years old, has just recently been diagnosed with mild CHF due to long-standing, untreated, high blood pressure. R.T.F otherwise has an unremarkable family history of inheritable disease. Ms Fletcher has until now been working part time, as needed, shifts at a community hospital 30 miles from home. She earns nearly enough to pay for rent, food and a car payment. She has not vacationed in over 4 years. In a committed relationship to Kevin now for nearly three years, she finds her relationship mostly fulfilling and generally supportive. Kevin, too, is unemployed as full time work is concerned. Additionally, he lives at home and has little means to buy his own car at this time. Her brother, Ron, has just recently asked R.T. if he might stay at her apartment for just a few months, until such time as he is able to straighten out some financial difficulty he has amassed over the past few years. Her devotion to a fitness regimen is ninimal at best. She works out at local gym 1-2 times every 2 weeks, usually taking a pilates class or working out with weights. She has reported light-headedness when running on a treadmill, so she avoids this activity all together. With little motivation otherwise, she may spend most of her texting with friends when exercise times are idle. Ms Fletcher eats a breakfast consisting of dry toast, a piece of fruit and hot tea, as a routine. She will skip lunch variably, but always find the opportunity to consume skipped calories over dinner or later in the evening. She has gained 9 lbs in the past two months, which she attributes of late to an erratic meal schedule favoring fast foods. R.T.F generally craves Corner Bakery bread and dessert products. She is known to order pizza at least 3 times per week.
