    C. Cardiorespiratory building activities that are nonweight bearing if the plan is to work on longer duration and higher intensity to elicit a cardiorespiratory training effect.

    D. Stopping activity at the onset of claudication discomfort to avoid further vascular damage from ischemia.

  • Question 156:

    Symptoms of claudication include:

    A. Cramping, burning, and tightness in the calf muscle, usually triggered by activity and relieved with rest.

    B. Acute, sharp pain in the foot on palpation at rest.

    B. The client has a functional capacity of greater than 8 MET with hemodynamic responses appropriate to this level of exercise.

    C. The client is noncompliant with smoking cessation and weight loss intervention programs.

    D. The client is unable to palpate HR, deliver RPEs, or maintain steady workload intensity during activity.

  • Question 160:

    Which of the following is NOT an appropriate treatment activity for inpatient rehabilitation of a client on the second day after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery?

    A. Limit activities as tolerated to the development of self-care activities, ROM for extremities, and low-resistance activities.
