Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Five steps to beginning an exercise program are Step 1: Assess fitness level; Step 2: Design the fitness program; Step 3: Assemble equipment; Step 4: Get started; and Step 5: Monitor progress.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The NAP notifies the nurse if a patient reports increased fatigue, dizziness, or light-headedness when obtaining preexercise and/or postexercise vital signs. The nurse first must assess the patient's ability and tolerance to exercise. The nurse also teaches patients and their families how to implement exercise programs. The NAP can prepare patients for exercise (e.g., putting on shoes and clothing, providing hygiene needs, and obtaining preexercise and postexercise vital signs). The NAP can help the patient exercise.
