“…Engaging all people in regular physical activity is a leading objective of Healthy People 2010 (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2000). Promotion of healthy physical activity and counseling about its importance should be a priority for all health care professionals (Lemley, O'Grady, Rauckhorst, Russell, & Small, 1994;Pate et al, 1995;Sallis & Patrick, 1994;U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 1996).…”

Physical activity is an integral component of overall health. Once activities and activity levels are known, current practices can be augmented or changed to accommodate improved understanding of physical activity. Because an active lifestyle is important in preventing obesity and other chronic conditions and for general health, nurse practitioners (NPs) should ask adolescents about their common activities and encourage them to continue the more vigorous activities and reduce time spent in sedentary pursuits. Prescriptive physical activity can be included for primary, secondary, or even tertiary prevention, thus crossing all levels of NP practice.

“…Department of Health and Human Services, 1996). A modest goal is achieving 30 minutes of physical activity per day for at least 30% of the population; however, that goal is not being met (Lemley et al, 1994;Pate et al, 1995;Sallis & Patrick, 1994;U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 1996).…”

“…A 1992 survey of 892 nurse practitioners (NPs) reported that NPs were below Healthy People 2000 targets for both assessment and interventions related to nutrition and exercise (Lemley, O'Grady, Rauckhorst, Russell, & Small, 1994). In another study, (cited in Griffith, & DiGuseppi, 1994) the percentage of NPs who reported providing counseling services to patients who needed it were 14% for exercise and 31% for nutrition and weight management.…”

This pilot study examined how primary care providers manage patients with weight problems, an important component of primary care. A convenience sample of 17 nurse practitioners and 15 physicians were surveyed about assessments and interventions used in practice for weight management along with perceived barriers to providing effective weight management. Practice patterns between gender, profession and practice setting of the nurse practitioners were compared.

“…Typical history taking is often inconsistent and does not include a full risk assessment of sexual activity and illicit substance use (Bull et al, 1999; Lemley, O’Grady, Rauckhorst, Russell, & Small, 1994). Trying to gain a comprehensive picture of an adolescent’s life in minimal time is difficult even for the most seasoned health care provider.…”

The purpose of this qualitative study is to explore family and peer relationships (including support and influence on risk behavior) among sexually active European American and African American adolescent girls in the context of risk behaviors documented on retrospective event history calendars (EHCs) and in interviews. The EHCs were completed by the adolescents prior to a clinic visit with a nurse practitioner at a school-based clinic in Southeast Michigan, and interviews were conducted after the visit. Constant comparative analysis of EHCs and interview data of 19 sexually active 15 to 19-year-old girls revealed that those with positive familial and peer support were less likely to report risk behaviors compared to those with poor family and peer relationships. School nurses and other providers working with adolescents to prevent risk behaviors could utilize the EHC to determine risks and develop education plans and interventions to reduce risk behaviors.
