NCLEX RN Practice Question

A 45-year-old client with a family history of hypertension and type 2 diabetes visits the clinic for a routine health assessment. The client reports limited physical activity, consumes meals high in processed foods, and has a weight status above the recommended range. What is the MOST appropriate nursing intervention to promote health maintenance for this client?

  • Recommend prescription medications to manage weight concerns and prevent further health complications.

  • Provide education about small dietary changes, such as increasing vegetable intake and reducing processed foods, and encourage 30 minutes of moderate physical activity on most days.

  • Schedule the client for regular monitoring of health metrics, such as blood pressure and glucose levels, every six months.

  • Encourage the client to enroll in a stress reduction program to help improve overall quality of life.
