Answer to Question 1

Clients should work toward a goal of 30 minutes of exercise daily. The intensity of exercise should allow for both breathing and talking with ease during the exercise. The other statements are incorrect and would indicate that the client needs additional instruction regarding exercise.

Cephalosporins are considered first line antibiotics for management of cysts with polycystic kidney disease. Antifungal, antihypertensives, and antiarrhythmic medications are not used to treat this disorder.
