Question 21

To determine a controllable risk factor for a heart attack, we analyze each option:

• Age: A person cannot control their age, so it's an uncontrollable risk factor.
• Genetics: Genetic makeup is inherited and not controllable by an individual.
• Homocysteine: While levels can be influenced, it's less directly controllable through lifestyle alone compared to exercise.
• Inadequate exercise: Exercise is a lifestyle choice, so a person can control the amount of exercise they get. Inadequate exercise is a controllable risk factor as one can choose to exercise more.

Vital signs are measurements that indicate the body's basic functions.

• Respiration rate: Measures how often a person breathes, a vital sign.
• Blood pressure: Measures the force of blood in blood vessels, a vital sign.
• Muscle response: Not a standard vital sign. Vital signs typically include respiration rate, blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, etc. Muscle response is related to neurological or muscular function testing, not a vital sign.
• Heart rate: Measures the number of heartbeats per minute, a vital sign.

Answer:

inadequate exercise (the option with "inadequate exercise")
