A 16-year-old was hospitalized 3 weeks ago. He has been confined to bed throughout his hospital stay because of a crushed pelvis. His parents tell the nurse, Our son is just staring off into space; he won't talk to us.
 
  We are worried because he has not even listened to his music CDs, watched television, or played his video games for 2 days. That is so unlike him. What is the best response the nurse can make?
  1) I will inform his physician and see if we can get your son started on an antidepressant.
  2) He is at a critical time in his life; adolescents are often moody, and being in the hospital with an injury will only make that worse.
  3) Your son had a major injury, and his immobility can cause feelings of isolation and depression.
  4) He is bored because he has been in the hospital for 3 weeks; I'll try to find some new activities for him.

Question 2

A healthy, 32-year-old man wants to start a fitness program to increase his muscle tone and muscle strength. What advice should the nurse offer him? The United States Department of Health and Human Services recommends:
 
  1) That exercising even once a week is beneficial.
  2) 30 minutes or more of moderate-intensity physical activity three times a week.
  3) 1 hour, three times a week of moderate-intensity physical activity.
  4) 150 to 300 minutes or more of moderate-intensity physical activity per week.
