Which of the following exercises would the nurse include in the teaching?

DSwimming

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

Swimming is an excellent exercise for individuals with low back pain as it is low-impact and helps strengthen the muscles supporting the back without putting undue stress on it. Sit-ups and leg lifts can strain the back and worsen pain, while running is a high-impact activity that can also exacerbate back pain. Swimming promotes flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health while minimizing the risk of further injury to the back.

Swimming? That's like trying to do crunches while wearing a lead vest. Definitely D - swimming is the way to go for low back pain.
