Question

A client has been taught how to do Kegel exercises. What statement by the client indicates a need for further information?

A) ""I understand these will help me control stress incontinence.""
B) ""I know this is also called pelvic floor muscle training.""
C) ""I will do these 30 to 80 times a day for two months.""
D) ""I will contract the muscles in my abdomen and thighs.""

Answer 1

The statement that indicates a need for further information is option D) "I will contract the muscles in my abdomen and thighs."

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statement that indicates a need for further information is option D) "I will contract the muscles in my abdomen and thighs."

Kegel exercises specifically target and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which are a group of muscles that support the pelvis and control urination. Contracting the muscles in the abdomen and thighs does not engage the pelvic floor muscles and would not be effective for Kegel exercises. The client should focus on contracting and relaxing the pelvic floor muscles during Kegel exercises.
