Question 1 of 5
A nurse is instructing a patient about relaxation techniques for pain management. The patient should:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Tense and relax individual muscle groups, starting with the toes and feet. This technique is known as progressive muscle relaxation, which helps reduce muscle tension and promote relaxation. By starting with the toes and feet and moving upwards, the patient can systematically release tension throughout the body. This method is effective in alleviating stress and pain.
Choice A is incorrect because bright lights can be stimulating and hinder the relaxation process.
Choice B is incorrect as relaxation techniques are typically used for calming and unwinding, not waking up.
Choice D is incorrect as tensing and relaxing all muscles simultaneously may not allow for focused relaxation.
