The nurse provides group education to active adolescents about sodium replacement after exercising outdoors. What is the best information to include?
1. Have extra salt with your breakfast on days you exercise outdoors.
2. It is best to avoid exercising outdoors in the summer.
3. You should take one salt tablet for every 2 hours spent outside.
4. Water is the best fluid replacement after exercising.
Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: Heat-related problems can be best avoided by consuming adequate amounts of water. Salt tablets can increase the risk of hypernatremia. There is no need to avoid exercising as long as enough water is consumed to avoid dehydration. Increasing salt intake prior to exercising is not necessary.
