NBCOT Question: MET Levels

A client with a history of cardiac disease had a MI 6 weeks ago. He can currently work 2 miles a day with no ill effect. He mentioned to his OT his fear of sexual activity and fears death or injury to the heart during sexual activity. Can you reassure your client that his stamina is adequate in terms of MET levels for sexual expression?

No, refer to primary physician
No, a brisk walk or climbing is not adequate enough in terms of MET levels for sexual activity
Yes, sexual activity is relaxing
Yes, a brisk walk or climbing is equivalent to MET levels of sexual activity.
