Individuals are more likely to initiate and maintain physical activity if they feel competent doing the activity, feel safe doing it, perceive no negative financial or social cost, can access the activity easily on a regular basis, and can fit the activity into their regular schedule.Knowledge is not enough to sustain activity.Role models are helpful.Initiating a lunchtime walking group demonstrates enthusiasm on the part of the nurse, provides an activity that is easy and mastered by most, and provides a social activity that can promote reinforcement by others who participate.Simply educating the employees (choice A) is not adequate.Providing all employees with an exercise prescriptions-regardless of their interest in exercise-would not be appropriate.Neither would be punitive approaches such as suggested in choice D.
