A health care provider prescribes a client with heart disease to walk 20 yards 3 times a day. The client wants to know how many feet each day he is expected to walk. What should the nurse respond to the client?
1. 60
2. 120
3. 180
4. 210
3
Rationale 1: Feet/day= 3 feet/1 yard x 60 yards/ day. Multiply the numerators (3 x 60 = 180). Multiply the denominators (1 x 1 = 1). 180/1= 180 feet/day.
