Question

the nurse instructs a client how to successfully begin a regular exercise program. the nurse determines teaching is successful if the client makes which statement

1. \i should start by running 5 miles every day.\
2. \i will exercise for a few minutes twice a week.\
3. \i should focus on aerobic exercise 5 days per week.\
4. \i am making a commitment to exercise regularly.\

Explanation:

To determine successful teaching, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Starting with running 5 miles daily is too intense for a beginner, not a realistic start.
• Option 2: Exercising a few minutes twice a week is insufficient for a regular program.
• Option 3: Focusing only on aerobic exercise 5 days a week lacks a balanced or realistic approach for a beginner's start.
• Option 4: Making a commitment to exercise regularly shows an understanding of the need for consistency, which is key to beginning a regular exercise program.

Answer:

1. "I am making a commitment to exercise regularly."
