condition during exercise?
To take muscle relaxants before exercising.
To avoid high-intensity exercise and focus on low-intensity activities.
To increase carbohydrate intake before exercising.
To engage in high-intensity training to improve muscle strength.
3. If a child is diagnosed with a genetic disorder that is known to be inherited,
what implications does this have for the parents?
The parents may be carriers of the genetic mutation and should
consider genetic counseling.
The parents will definitely have more children with the same disorder.
The parents are not affected and have no implications.
The parents must undergo immediate medical treatment.
,4. The nurse is assessing a patient with a cast who is complaining of numbness
and tingling. Which explanation of the paresthesia is appropriate?

injury.

This is an early sign of paralysis, which is unavoidable with this injury.
5. : What are the clinical manifestations of a disease?
Treatments available for the disease

Risk factors can increase the likelihood of developing a disease by
creating conditions that promote its onset.

hospital stays, and higher healthcare costs.
