The nurse encourages a non–insulin-dependent diabetic client to engage in a regular exercise pro-gram primarily because to do so will most likely improve the client's:
1. Gastric motility, thus affecting glucose digestion
2. Respiratory recovery time, thus decreasing breath load
3. Average cardiac output, thus decreasing resting heart rate
4. Use of glucose and fatty acids, thus decreasing blood glucose level
ANS: 4
While all the options are correct, regular exercise does tend to increase effective use of glucose and fatty acids; this would be the primary benefit for the diabetic client.
