Question 5 of 5
The nurse has conducted a stress management seminar for clients in an ambulatory care setting. Which statement by a client would indicate a need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Confrontation is a communication technique, not a stress management technique. It may also exacerbate stress, at least in the short term, rather than alleviate it. Biofeedback, progressive muscle relaxation, meditation, and guided imagery are techniques that the nurse can teach the client to reduce the physical impact of stress on the body and promote a feeling of self-control for the client. Biofeedback entails electronic equipment, whereas the others require no adjuncts, such as tapes, once the technique is learned.
