A nurse is teaching an older adult client about physical activity. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

A. Assistive devices such as canes or walkers should be used as needed to maintain safety and prevent falls. Eliminating these devices during exercise could increase the risk of injury and is not recommended. B. Weight-bearing exercises, such as walking, jogging, or dancing, help stimulate bone formation and maintain bone density, which is especially important in older adults at risk for osteoporosis. This statement demonstrates correct understanding of how physical activity supports musculoskeletal health. C. Resistance training, when performed safely and appropriately, is beneficial for older adults. It improves muscle strength, balance, and functional mobility, which actually reduces the risk of falls rather than increasing it. Avoiding resistance training is a misconception.
