The nurse is presenting a teaching session on exercise for a group of corporate executives. An ap-propriate recommendation is that
1. Continuous activity is required in order for the exercise to be worthwhile
2. 3000 to 4000 calories may be easily expended each week
3. Lower-intensity activities need to be done more often for value
4. Only formal exercise activities are counted in a regular plan
ANS: 3
Lower intensity activities should be done more often, for longer periods of time, or both. The ac-tivity does not have to be continuous; benefits can be realized with short bouts of activity over the course of the day. Answer 2 is inaccurate; 1000 to 1400 calories may be easily expended each week. All types of activity can be applied in an exercise plan; it does not have to be formal exer-cises.
