Question 3 of 5
The client with chronic low back pain is having trouble sleeping at night. Which nonpharmacological therapy should the nurse teach the client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Progressive relaxation reduces muscle tension and promotes sleep, a safe nonpharmacological option. Acupuncture, massage, or herbs are less directly linked to sleep.
Question 4 of 5
The primary nurse caring for the client who died is crying with the family at the bedside. Which action should the charge nurse implement?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Allowing the nurse to grieve with the family supports emotional bonding, unless it impairs care. Removing, referring, or replacing the nurse may disrupt this moment.
