Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

Isometric exercises affect muscle tension. Joint movement does not occur during isometric exercises. Examples of isometric exercise would include tensing of thigh muscles, extending the arms, and pushing against a wall. For this client, the best isometric exercise would be tensing the muscles in the affected arm or extending the arm. This type of exercise can be used for strength maintenance for immobilized clients. Isotonic exercises increase tone and involve activities such as running, walking, and cycling. These types of activities may be contraindicated by clients having a fracture. Resistive exercises use resistance. An example of resistive exercise includes weight lifting. Anaerobic exercises are activities used to promote endurance.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

Risk factors that can be controlled by client action are termed modifiable. Those risk factors which cannot be changed by the client, such as age, heredity, genetic factors, certain health conditions, and biological characteristics, are called non-modifiable factors.
