2. As a nursing student, explain how improving your cardiorespiratory fitness would help
you in the field of nursing. Cite certain situations to support your answer.
Well, this is an easy question. Cardiorespiratory endurance measures how well the body performs
during long periods of exercise. As a person with high cardiorespiratory endurance, you can sustain high-
intensity activities over an extended period without getting tired. The muscles require an adequate
supply of oxygen and other nutrients to work properly during high-intensity or extended periods of
exercise. Now imagine this, you have a patient who’s dying at the moment and in that moment, u have a
shortness of breath and can’t help because your too tired or your out of oxygen because your
cardiorespiratory is weak and your patient may die or cause a serious injuries.
