A nurse in a community setting plans wellness outcomes with a 68-year-old female client who desires to participate in a half-marathon run. Which of the following outcomes should the nurse document?
A) The client will remain free of disease.
B) The client will participate in daily aerobic activity class without falls.
C) The client will increase activity until able to run 30 minutes.
D) The client will participate in the half marathon that is scheduled in 6 months.
Ans: D
Health is individually determined, based on the functional capacities that are perceived as important by that person, in this case, participating in a half marathon. Remaining free from disease and expecting the older adult to participate in daily aerobic activity class may not be pertinent to this client. Increasing activity by only 30 minutes at time minimizes the client's goal.
