Answer to Question 1

4

Rationale: Losing more than 5 in one month or more than 10 of their weight in 6 months is too drastic. Thirty minutes of aerobic activity each day is enough to help a client lose weight. Not every client can tolerate 75 minutes of physical activity each day. It would be appropriate to expect the client to verbalize methods to reduce their weight through dietary planning.

Answer to Question 2

C
Anaerobic pathways metabolize mostly glycogen for short-term, high-intensity activities. Adre-naline release may or may not stimulate this metabolism. Aerobic pathways are used for long-er-term, moderate-intensity activities. Oxidation of fatty acids occurs mostly in long-term, mod-erate-intensity activities.
