Answer to Question 1

A
An exercise program is very beneficial for the MS patient to relieve spasticity and improve coor-dination (Harmon, 2011). Because of fatigue, it is often difficult to convince MS patients to ex-ercise. Swimming provides considerable benefits as exercising in water is less fatiguing than ex-ercising out of water.

Answer to Question 2

C
Intermittent claudication, or cramping pain in the calves, occurs in the presence of arterial insuf-ficiency. This allows the muscles to build up lactic acid and cause pain.
