Mrs. V is married and of Hispanic heritage. She is overweight to obese with a BMI of 31. She states she smokes cigarettes ½ pack per day. She reports little exercise prior to the cardiac event. During hospitalization, a stent was placed by percutaneous coronary intervention. She is discharged on a statin, an anti-platelet medication and an ACE inhibitor. She is not in the OASIS 5 study, however, you can assume she meets none of the exclusion criteria for that study. Mrs. V’s doctor told her to quit smoking and gave her a prescription for a nicotine patch. Mrs. V was visited by the Physical Therapist who gave her an exercise program and discussed it with her. The dietician met with her regarding a heart healthy diet. Cardiac rehabilitation is ordered following her discharge. Mrs. V told you that she really likes to smoke and is not sure that she can quit smoking. She also states that she does not like to exercise, so she is not sure about the cardiac rehab program.
