Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback
A A resting heart rate of 90 to 100 beats per minute is too high, and this does not address the need to increase activity.
B The outcome Blood pressure will be maintained between 140/80 and 160/90 mm Hg does not state whether this blood pressure is at rest or after exercising. It also does not address the need to increase activity.
C An appropriate outcome for Activity intolerance related to increased weight gain and inactivity is that the patient will perform exercise three to four times over the next two-week period. This outcome is realistic and measurable, and addresses the problem.
D The outcome, Patient will report enjoying exercise, does not address the need to increase activity.
