Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Performing exercises in the water reduces stress on the joints. Swimming or exercising in water puts less stress on joints and is beneficial for older adults. Exercising in the water may help to keep the body cool, which is not necessary in this case. There is no indication that performing exercises in the water reduces blood pressure. The heart rate is more likely to increase when performing physical activities or exercises, even if the client is performing them in the water.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The nurse should advocate on behalf of the client to others. If need be, the nurse should refer the client and his family to organizations or people who provide assistance. The nurse should keep the client and the client's family informed about the client's condition and encourage the family members to interact with the client.
