A nurse in the rehabilitation unit is caring for a 72-year-old patient who is in cardiac rehabilitation following a myocardial infarction. The nurse's plan of care calls for the patient to walk for 15 minutes three times a day

The nurse's best response is: A) The arteries in your legs constrict when you walk and allow the blood to move faster and with more pressure on the tissue. B) Walking decreases the heart's pumping ability, and increases your heart rate and blood pressure, and therefore your heart is under less stress. C) Walking helps your heart adjust to your new arteries and provides a way to have fun.
