Which of the following nursing assessment questions will best determine the nature of an exer-cise-related injury?

1. “Do you experience the pain during or after your workout?”
2. “Tell me what is included in your typical workout routine.”
3. “How long does it hurt after you have stopped exercising?”
4. “On a scale of 1 to 10, please rate your postexercise pain for me.”

ANSWER

ANS: 2
Questions such as “Describe for me your typical daily exercise routine and activity” best trigger a discussion that allows for the client to offer information regarding the activities that could be re-sponsible for the injury. The remaining options are more directed toward the pain the client is experiencing.
