Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Maximum heart rate is calculated by subtracting a person's age from 220 . Thus, a 20-year-old's maximum heart rate is 200 beats per minute (bpm), whereas a 50-year-old client's maximum heart rate is 170 bpm. The target heart rate is 60 to 90 of the maximum heart rate. Beginners should not exceed 60, intermediates can exercise at 70 to 75, and competitive athletes can tolerate 80 to 90 of their maximum heart rate.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The most important arrangement that a nurse should make during a step test is to ask for the assistance of personnel certified in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the use of an automatic cardiac defibrillator if there is an adverse cardiac event. The step test is used with caution; hence, test time is shortened if the client develops discomfort. The examiner uses a metronome and a stopwatch to keep track of the rate and the time, but this is not the most important arrangement. The height of the step test machine platform is prescribed as per the client.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
