A nurse is caring for a 50-year-old client performing aerobic exercise in the cardiac rehabilitation office
The nurse calculates the client's target heart rate as _______-_________.
Answer: 102 beats per minute (BPM); 145 beats per minute (BPM)
Target heart rate can be obtained by an equation: (220 - client's age) × 60% and 85%.
So 220 - 50 = 170. 170 × .60 = 102 BPM. 170 × .85 = 145 BPM.
