Questions and Answers| Latest Review 2025
A patient recovering from a stroke struggles with walking independently. What would be the best
adapted P.E. approach for them?
Give them balance and mobility exercises, maybe seated leg raises or parallel bar walking.
You want to slowly build up strength and coordination without making it unsafe.
A teenager with type 1 diabetes wants to join sports club training. What should the nurse check
before approving?
Make sure they know how to monitor their blood sugar, especially before and after exercise.
They also need to carry fast-acting carbs like glucose tabs in case of a hypo.
A patient with COPD says exercise makes them breathless and they're scared to continue. What
advice supports them?
Start with low-intensity stuff like walking or gentle cycling and encourage rest breaks.
Reassure them that breathlessness is normal at first but will improve as they build endurance.
In a case where a patient has arthritis in their knees, which physical activity would be most
appropriate?
Swimming or water aerobics because the water supports their joints and reduces impact. It
still helps build muscle and flexibility too.

A nurse notices a patient's motivation drops after two weeks of rehab P.E. sessions. What might
help them stay engaged?
Try setting small, fun goals—like doing a new movement or hitting a step count. Make it feel
like progress, not a chore.
After surgery, a patient needs to rebuild upper body strength. What kind of P.E. task would work
early on?
Light resistance bands or assisted arm lifts. You’re aiming for gentle movements that won’t
stress healing areas.
An elderly patient with osteoporosis is starting P.E. sessions. Which movement should they
avoid?
High-impact stuff like jumping or running—those can cause fractures. Go with low-impact,
weight-bearing stuff like walking or tai chi.
A patient with depression has been referred to adapted P.E. What is a priority to consider in their
program?
Keep it simple and enjoyable—group walks or dancing can help with mood and social
connection. Don’t overload them.
What kind of feedback would work best for a patient with mild learning disabilities during a
group exercise?
