Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nurse should recommend 30 minutes or more of moderate-intensity physical activity per day, for a weekly total of three to four hours. This recommendation aligns with the American Heart Association and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines for physical activity. It is important to note that physical activity can be accumulated in smaller bouts throughout the day, and does not have to be done all at once.
