NCLEX RN Practice Question

During a routine wellness visit, an otherwise healthy 45-year-old adult asks how exercise can help prevent chronic illnesses. Which statement should the nurse include in the teaching?

  • Only vigorous-intensity exercise performed for 300 minutes or more each week has been proven to decrease the risk of hypertension and diabetes.

  • Engaging in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity each week can lower your risk of developing hypertension and type 2 diabetes.

  • Physical activity has no meaningful effect on blood pressure unless combined with antihypertensive medication.

  • Walking and other moderate activities do not influence glucose metabolism and therefore cannot prevent type 2 diabetes.
