Exercise may lead to increased appetite in elderly clients. Elderly clients may become more sedentary and should be taught the benefits of exercise within their abilities. Sitting exercises may be indicated if balance or functional abilities decline. Exercise will not help in enzyme synthesis and does not resolve dehydration or dysphagia.
