Question 1 of 5
A nurse in a community clinic is planning an educational session for a group of clients. Which of the following strategies should the nurse use when teaching about stress management?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Encourage discussion and practice of coping skills. This strategy is effective because it actively engages clients in learning and applying coping mechanisms, promoting better retention and skill development. By encouraging discussion, clients can share experiences and support each other, enhancing their understanding and motivation. Practicing coping skills helps clients to internalize and apply them in real-life situations.
Incorrect choices:
A: Providing lengthy lectures is less effective as it can be overwhelming and may not actively involve clients in learning.
C: Discouraging clients from expressing emotions hinders the therapeutic process and can lead to bottling up emotions, increasing stress.
