Simulated
The nurse on the cardiac unit notes that a client recovering from a myocardial infarction appears worried and irritable. The client says, 'I am worried about my business. I run a restaurant and am used to working 70 hours a week. I am worried about whether I will be able to handle the stress once I am back there.' Which response by the nurse is best?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Providing a list of relaxation therapies directly addresses the clientÔÇÖs stress concerns and empowers them to choose coping strategies, aligning with their expressed worries about returning to a high-stress job. Other options are less relevant to stress management.
