ANS: 4
Muscle tone helps maintain functional positions such as sitting or standing without excess muscle fatigue and is maintained through continual use of muscles. ADLs require muscle action and help maintain muscle tone. When a client is immobile or on prolonged bed rest, activity level, activity tolerance, and muscle tone decrease. The better the muscle tone, the more stamina the client will experience. Although all the interventions are appropriate, actually walking with the client will have the greatest impact on her ability to achieve the goal.
