A nurse is caring for a client diagnosed with hypertension. The client​'s healthcare provider suggests the client begin a regular exercise schedule. The client asks the​ nurse, open double quote"How will exercise benefit my​ brain? The doctor said that exercise benefits the brain but I don​'t see how it can.close double quote" What is the nurse​'s best​ response? Exercise improves​ short-term memory. Exercise increases the number of neurons in the brain. Exercise increases the number of brain cells. Exercise leads to improved problem solving.

Exercise leads to improved problem solving. With​ exercise, increased toxin elimination occurs with improved ventilation and increased oxygenation to the brain. This leads to improved problem solving. The other answer choices are incorrect.

Which type of exercise is also known as dynamic​ exercise? Isokinetic Isometric Isodynamic Isotonic

Isotonic

A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative from an open appendectomy. The client uses an overhead trapeze bar to transfer position in bed. Which type of exercise is demonstrated with this​ action? Isometric Isokinetic Isodynamic Isotonic

Isotonic Learning Objective Differentiate physical​ fitness, physical​ activity, and types of exercise used to promote health. Rationale The client who uses an overhead trapeze bar to aid in transfer is demonstrating isotonic activity. Isometric activity is when the joint doesn​'t move but the muscle contracts ​(open double quote"wall ​sits,close double quote" for​ example). Isokinetic exercise is when the muscle contracts against resistance.

A nurse is caring for a client who delivered a healthy baby boy by cesarean section​ (C-section) 24 hours ago. The nurse notes that the client correctly uses her arms to help transfer in and out of bed. Which type of exercise is the client demonstrating when performing this​ activity? Anaerobic Isotonic Aerobic Isometric

Isotonic The client who uses her arms to aid in transfer is demonstrating isotonic activity. Isometric activity is that in which the joint doesn​'t move but the muscle contracts ​(open double quote"wall ​sits,close double quote" for​ example). Aerobic​ exercise, such as running or​ hiking, conditions the cardiovascular system. Anaerobic exercise utilizes anaerobic pathways to provide additional energy for a short time because muscles are unable to use enough oxygen from the bloodstream. Sprinting is an example of anaerobic exercise.

A nurse working in a pulmonary rehabilitation clinic is conducting an exercise session for a group of clients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease​ (COPD). Which exercises will the nurse include because they are most beneficial for clients with​ COPD? ​(Select all that​ apply.) Stationary arm bicycle Stair climbing Squats Bicep curls Lunges

Stair climbing Squats Lunges Learning Objective Explain the benefits of exercise and its role in health promotion. Rationale The client with COPD most benefits from lower body exercises including​ lunges, squats, and stair climbing. These exercises are performed as tolerated. Bicep curls and stationary arm bicycle use are​ beneficial; however, not as beneficial as lower body exercises.

Which exercises are classified as​ aerobic? ​(Select all that​ apply.) Swimming Weight lifting Running Hiking Sprinting

Swimming Running Hiking

A nurse is caring for a client with asthma who is hospitalized due to an acute exacerbation of the disease. The nurse tells the client that exercise may be beneficial in the treatment of asthma. Which exercise has been shown to be particularly beneficial for clients with​ asthma? Swimming Running Cycling Yoga

Yoga Yoga has been shown to be particularly beneficial for clients with asthma. The other answer choices are good for aerobic​ conditioning; however, they are not the most beneficial for the client with asthma.

Isotonic exercises

dynamic exercises muscle shortens to produce muslce contractions and and active movement running, walking, swimming, cycling, ADLs, ROM

Isokinetic exercises

resistive exercises involve in muscle contraction or tensions against resistance isotonic or isometric. physical conditioning and build certain muscle groups

Isometric exercises

static or setting exercises muscles contract without moving the joint exerting pressure against a solid object and useful for strengthening abdominal gluteal and quads

aerobic exercise

the amount of oxygen taken int the body is greater than that used .

anaerobic exercise

the muscles cannot draw out enough oxygen from the bloodstream. weight lifting sprinting endurance training

Which statement regarding the benefits of exercise for preventing cardiovascular disease is​ true? Regular exercise prevents secretion pooling in the​ lungs, decreasing risk of respiratory infection. Levels of​ "good" (low-density lipoprotein​ [LDL]) cholesterol are increased through regular endurance exercise. Regular​ moderate-intensity (80%-90% of maximum heart​ rate) exercise improves cardiac output by increasing heart and strength of cardiac muscle contraction. Regular exercise is second only to diet in the prevention of cardiovascular disease.

Regular exercise prevents secretion pooling in the​ lungs, decreasing risk of respiratory infection. Regular exercise prevents secretion pooling in the​ lungs, decreasing risk of respiratory infection.​ "Good" cholesterol is also called​ high-density lipoprotein​ [HDL], which is increased through regular endurance exercise. Regular​ moderate-intensity exercise improves cardiac output by increasing heart and strength of cardiac muscle contraction.​ However, moderate-intensity exercise is​ 40%-60% of maximum heart rate.

Which type of exercise is particularly helpful for clients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease​ (COPD)? Abdominal Upper body Lower body Back

Lower body

A nurse is providing discharge instructions for a client who has been diagnosed with angina. The nurse educates the client on aerobic exercise, as per the healthcare provider​'s orders. The client asks the​ nurse, open double quote"How will I know when I am working out ​adequately?close double quote" What is the nurse​'s best​ response? When you are performing aerobic​ exercise, you shouldn't​ be able to carry on a conversation. The goal for aerobic exercise is to maintain target heart rate within​ 40%-55% of maximum heart rate. When you are performing aerobic​ exercise, you should be able to carry on a conversation without labored breathing. The goal for aerobic exercise is to maintain target heart rate within​ 60%-85% of maximum heart rate.

The goal for aerobic exercise is to maintain target heart rate within​ 60%-85% of maximum heart rate. The goal for aerobic exercise is to maintain target heart rate within​ 60%-85% of maximum heart rate. When an individual​ exercises, he should experience labored breathing but also maintain ability to carry on a conversation. This is also known as the talk test.

A community health nurse is providing education to a group of adults about the types of exercise that promote health. Which statements will the nurse include in the​ teaching? ​(Select all that​ apply.) The talk test may be easier to use than the heart rate calculation for determining effort in aerobic exercise. An example of an anaerobic exercise is weight lifting. Isotonic exercises are also known as dynamic exercises. Isometric exercise creates a large increase in blood flow to all parts of the body. Anaerobic exercises are exercises where the amount of oxygen taken into the body during exercise is greater than that used to perform the activity.

The talk test may be easier to use than the heart rate calculation for determining effort in aerobic exercise. An example of an anaerobic exercise is weight lifting. Isotonic exercises are also known as dynamic exercises. Learning Objective Differentiate physical​ fitness, physical​ activity, and types of exercise used to promote health. Rationale An example of anaerobic exercise is weight lifting. Isotonic exercises are also known as dynamic exercises. The talk test may be easier to use than the heart rate calculation for determining effort in aerobic exercise. Aerobic​ exercises, not​ anaerobic, are exercises where the amount of oxygen taken into the body during exercise is greater than that used to perform the activity. Isometric exercise causes a slight increase in heart rate and cardiac​ output, but no noticeable increase in blood flow to other parts of the body.

A nurse is caring for a client in a primary care clinic who has osteoporosis but is in otherwise good health. Which statement made by the nurse is most appropriate when teaching this client about the benefits of​ exercise? Swimming is most beneficial for your condition. ​Non-weight-bearing exercise is most beneficial in your condition. Weight-bearing exercise increases the number of osteoblasts of the bone. Walking is an excellent choice of exercise for your condition.

Walking is an excellent choice of exercise for your condition. Learning Objective Explain the benefits of exercise and its role in health promotion. Rationale ​Walking, or​ weight-bearing exercise, is most beneficial for the client with osteoporosis who can bear weight. While swimming is a great choice for those who cannot bear​ weight, this client would best benefit from walking.​ Weight-bearing exercise does not increase the number of​ osteoblasts, but instead balances osteoblasts​ (bone-building cells) with osteoclast​ (bone-resorption cells).
