A client is scheduled to have a graded exercise test. The nurse explains to the client
that the test will determine how:
You Selected:
well the body reacts to controlled exercise stress.
Correct response:
well the body reacts to controlled exercise stress.
Explanation:
Graded exercise testing is a diagnostic and prognostic tool used to determine the
physiologic responses to controlled exercise stress. Information gained from a
graded exercise test can achieve diagnostic, functional, and therapeutic objectives
for the client. Graded exercise tests involve the use of a treadmill, stationary
bicycle, or arm ergometry. The information obtained from this test is not used to
set the incline on the treadmill, and measuring the distance walked and the
duration of the walk are not the purpose of a graded exercise test.
Remediation:
Electrocardiography, exercise
Question 2 See full question

antidepressants?
You Selected:

Correct response:
Don't consume alcohol while using this medication.

mouth and blurred vision are normal adverse effects of tricyclic antidepressants.

pregnancy and breast-feeding hasn't been established.
Remediation:
Amitriptyline hydrochloride
