A corporate executive works 60-80 hours a week. The client is experiencing some physical signs of stress. The nurse teaches the client biofeedback techniques. This is an example of which of the following health-promotion interventions?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'relaxation technique.' Biofeedback techniques are a form of relaxation technique that can help individuals quiet the mind, release tension, and counteract responses to stress. Teaching biofeedback techniques to the client aims to promote relaxation and stress management. Choice A, 'structure,' does not directly relate to teaching biofeedback techniques. Choice C, 'time management,' focuses on organizing tasks efficiently, not on relaxation techniques. Choice D, 'regular exercise,' although beneficial for overall health, is not specifically related to the teaching of biofeedback techniques for stress relief.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: When providing culturally competent care, the nurse's initial step is to reflect on and understand their own cultural beliefs and biases. By doing so, the nurse can approach the care of the couple from the Philippines with sensitivity and respect. This self-awareness helps the nurse recognize potential differences in beliefs and values, fostering effective communication and care. Option B is incorrect because it does not address the nurse's need for self-reflection. Option C is incorrect as it focuses on the clients adapting to the new country's practices rather than the nurse understanding the clients' existing beliefs. Option D is incorrect as it pertains to family dynamics and gender roles rather than the nurse's self-awareness.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'behavior modification.' The Token Economy is a form of behavior modification that involves providing positive reinforcement in the form of tokens or rewards for desired behaviors. This approach aims to increase the occurrence of positive behaviors by rewarding them. Play therapy (choice A) focuses on using play as a medium for therapeutic communication, not specifically behavior modification. Milieu therapy (choice C) involves shaping the environment to promote desired behaviors but is not the primary focus of the Token Economy. 'Associative' (choice D) is not directly related to the Token Economy or its focus on behavior modification, making it an incorrect choice.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Medication bound to protein reduces the availability of the drug to produce desired medicinal effects because only unbound drugs can effectively bind to active receptor sites. When a drug is bound to protein, it cannot bind with receptor sites, limiting its therapeutic impact. Choice A is incorrect because drug availability is reduced when it is bound to protein. Choice B is incorrect as rapid distribution to receptor sites is not possible if the drug is bound to protein and cannot bind with receptors. Choice D is incorrect as metabolism does not increase when the drug is bound to protein; the liver first needs to separate the drug from the protein before metabolism can occur.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'managing symptoms of anxiety and fear.' When a client remembers childhood sexual abuse, the nurse's primary goal should be to help the client cope with the emotional distress and symptoms such as anxiety and fear. Prosecuting the perpetrator is not within the nurse's scope of practice and is a legal matter. Determining if the memories are real is not the nurse's role; the focus should be on providing support and care. Collaborating with the client's story is vague and does not address the immediate emotional needs of the client.
