Answer to Question 1

F
Exercise provides a feeling of self-satisfaction. Setting goals that require some activity, such as walking for 30 minutes, provides a meaningful thing to do and combats depression, insomnia, and boredom.

Answer to Question 2

C
Passive range of motion helps to maintain joint flexibility and delay muscle wasting associated with immobility. Passive range of motion does not replace the need for ambulation (response A), decrease the risk of falls or skin breakdown (response B), or increase the risk of deep vein thrombosis (response D).
