Question

Patient instructed to perform HEP b.i.d., 10 reps each exercise.

a. Perform exercises once daily, 5 reps for each exercise.
b. Perform exercises twice daily, 10 reps for each exercise.
c. Perform exercises every other day, 15 reps for each exercise.
d. Avoid the prescribed home exercise program.

Answer 1

The correct option is to perform the exercises twice daily, 10 reps for each exercise.

Step-by-step explanation:

HEP b.i.d. stands for Home Exercise Program, which should be performed twice daily, 10 reps for each exercise. So, option b is the correct one. Performing exercises once daily with 5 reps for each exercise (option a) or every other day with 15 reps for each exercise (option c) would not meet the prescribed instructions. It is important to follow the prescribed frequency and number of reps to ensure that the exercises are performed as intended.
