Answer to Question 1

 BMI = 165/622 x 703 = 30.2
 This is classified as Grade 1 obesity.
 Based upon her current body weight, her BMI is 33.9
 Generally, a healthy weight for most elderly falls between a BMI of 24 and 29
 A BMI greater than 29 can be associated with increased health problems.

Answer to Question 2

 A myocardial infarction or heart attack usually occurs when there is a thrombus obstructing a coronary artery.
 Myocardium or heart muscle in the distribution of the obstructed flow perishes (due to hypoxia and diminished nutrient delivery) unless collateral flow is present or flow can be reestablished by clot dissolution or disruption.
