Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Choice D as modifying movements addresses the cause of repetitive strain syndrome, promoting healing without invasive measures. Surgery (choice A) and injections (choice B) are not initial treatments, and a wrist splint (choice C) targets the wrong joint. This aligns with NCLEX Physiological Integrity, emphasizing non-surgical, practical adjustments to reduce elbow stress, tailored to the patient's repetitive work environment.

This reflects NCLEX Physiological Integrity, evaluating therapy outcomes by monitoring gastrointestinal complications in critical illness.
