Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
In alternative lifestyles, people with pets find it soothing and relaxing to stroke and touch an animal that responds affectionately, regardless of a person's age, physical characteristics, or accomplishments. Pets seem to improve a person's feelings of self-worth in a way that extends to human relationships as well. Alternative thinking techniques are those that facilitate a change in a person's perceptions from negative to positive. Alternative behaviors are behavioral techniques for modifying stress, which encourage one to take control rather than become immobilized. Making choices and pursuing actions promote self-confidence over feeling victimized.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Isotonic exercise is most suitable for an obese client, as it involves movement and work. The prime example is aerobic exercise, which involves moving all body parts at a moderate to slow speed without hindering the ability to breathe. To promote cardiorespiratory conditioning and increase lean muscle mass, a person should perform isotonic exercise at his or her target heart rate. Isometric exercise does not promote cardiorespiratory conditioning; in fact, strenuous isometric exercises elevate blood pressure temporarily. Passive ROM will not achieve the identified health goals. Submaximal is not a category of exercise.
