DIALOGUE : ROLE PLAY

HIGH CHOLESTEROL

Nurse Ari : Thanks for coming in mr. Azzam my name’s Ari i’m the occupational health
nurse here

Mr. Azzam : Hello Ari, i was told to come an talk to you my health report

Nurse Ari : That’s right, your health report showed up a few problems, your cholesterol
level is quite high and so is your blood pressure, can you tell me what do you
know about high cholesterol ?

Mr. Azzam : Well, I don’t know very much. I have to see the GP this afternoon about
some tablets but i don’t know much them either, i don’t really know, why
getting my cholesterol down is important?

Nurse Ari : That’s okay, i can explain it to you, doctors become concerned if if you have
high cholesterol leves as well as some other risk factors especially if you are in
a high-risk group for heart attack or stroke

Mr. Azzam : Oh!, i see, why is everyone is worried now. How do i know if i am in high
risk-group?

Nurse Ari : Can you tell me about your family history is there anyone in your family
with heart disease or anyone who has had a stroke ?

Mr. Azzam : Yes, my father had a heart attack and died when i was quite young.

Nurse Ari : Okay, family history of heart disease is one of the risk factors another is high
blood pressure .

Mr. Azzam : Oh dear, it’s not looking good, apparently i have high blood pressure as well
at least i am not a smoker?

Nurse Ari : Yes, that is a good thing , smoking is another risk factor for heart attack and
stroke.

Mr. Azzam : So, what you’re saying is that if i have high blood pressure and high
cholesterol, i am going to have a heart attack?

Nurse Ari : No, i’m not saying that, what it does mean is that you have more of a chance
of having a heart attack or stroke than someone, who doesn’t have these risk
factors. Can you tell me a bit about your diet and how much exercise you do?

Mr. Azzam : Well, i have to be honest with you, my diet isn’t what it should be the wife is
always that me to lose weight the trouble is that i like a few beers when i come
home from work, once i sit on the sofa and turn on the TV that’s as any
exercise goes i only get of the sofa to eat dinner my weight has just increased
over the years

Nurse Ari : I see, it is hard to get out of a habit like that, i understand how difficult it it is
to make changes

Mr. Azzam : Do i really have to make any changes most of my friends are as overweight
as iam and they don’t seem to have any problems?

Nurse Ari : I’m afraid it is very important that you make some changes the problem in
your case is that you have several risk factors, you have a family history of
cardiovascular disease, you have high blood pressure and high cholesterol and
you are overweight and don’t exercise enough.

Mr. Azzam : Um, what about these tablets?, i think they are called statins, won’t they fix
the problem

Nurse Ari : They will lower the amount of cholesterol in your body, which is one
important risk factor, you will still have to manage the other risk factos are
willing to think about going on a weight-loss program ?

Mr. Azzam : Iam not really keen on idea, i don’t know i have never been able to lose
weight in the past.

Nurse Ari : I know it is hard thing to do but it is really important, it would be beneficial
to do some exercise as well, do you think that you could start walking a few
times a week perhaps your wife might walk with you or a friend could go
with you, exercise doesn’t have to be difficult.

Mr. Azzam : I will try to get the weight down, i will even go out for a walk, i don’t want to
have a heart attack like my father

Nurse Ari : That’s great, the GP will explain about the statins, wich you must take every
day that’s very important, i’ve got an information leaflet here on cholesterol
and heart healt, take it home with you, if you have any question, come in and
see me again or phone the number on the leaflet

Mr. Azzam : Thanks Ari, I will do that
