Rationale: Correct Answer: A Rationale: 1. Sodium restriction helps prevent fluid retention and high blood pressure in CKD. 2. Limiting sodium intake is crucial in managing CKD-related complications. 3. Excess sodium can worsen fluid retention and strain the kidneys. 4.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Light therapy. Light therapy is effective for treating sleep problems, stress, and seasonal affective disorders because exposure to bright light can regulate circadian rhythms, improve mood, and alleviate symptoms associated with these conditions. Light therapy helps reset the body's internal clock, promoting better sleep patterns and reducing stress. Exercise (choice B) can also improve sleep and reduce stress, but it may not specifically target seasonal affective disorders. Medication (choice C) and herbal treatments (choice D) are not typically recommended as the first-line treatment for these conditions and may have side effects or limited efficacy compared to light therapy.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Advise the patient to sleep with the head of the bed elevated. Elevating the head of the bed helps prevent stomach acid from flowing back into the esophagus during sleep, reducing GERD symptoms. This position also promotes better digestion. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because encouraging large meals before bedtime can worsen GERD symptoms, drinking caffeinated beverages can trigger acid reflux, and avoiding antacids can lead to inadequate symptom management.
