A nurse is performing an eye examination on a client. Which of the following findings should indicate to the nurse that the client might have cataracts?

A. "Think about a positive outcome to a stressful situation." - This instruction describes a cognitive restructuring technique, which involves reframing negative thoughts with positive ones. While cognitive restructuring can be helpful for managing stress and anxiety, it is not specifically related to progressive relaxation.
B. "Tighten a muscle group, then release the tension and move to the next one." - This is the correct instruction for progressive relaxation. Progressive relaxation involves systematically tensing and relaxing muscle groups throughout the body to reduce physical tension and promote relaxation. By sequentially tensing and releasing muscle groups, the client learns to recognize and control muscle tension, which can help alleviate stress and anxiety.
C. "Focus on a pleasant memory and express your emotions in writing." - This instruction describes a journaling or expressive writing technique, which can be beneficial for processing emotions and reducing stress. However, it is not specific to progressive relaxation.
D. "Picture taking the stress you feel and pushing it down and out of your feet." - This instruction describes a visualization or imagery technique, where the client visualizes releasing stress from the body. While visualization can be a component of relaxation exercises, it is not specifically associated with progressive relaxation, which focuses on muscle tension and relaxation.

A. Wear a bra with wire support: This is not recommended immediately after a modified radical mastectomy, as it can put pressure on the surgical site and cause discomfort or interfere with healing. Instead, the client should wear a soft, supportive bra without underwire to provide comfort and support.
B. Use deodorant under the affected arm: Applying deodorant under the affected arm is generally not recommended immediately after surgery, as the area may be sensitive and the skin may be healing. The client should avoid applying deodorant until the surgical site has healed and they have consulted with their healthcare provider.
C. Begin ball squeezing exercises: While exercises to improve range of motion and strength in the affected arm are important after a mastectomy, initiating them on the first day postoperative may be too early. The client should follow the specific instructions provided by their healthcare provider regarding when to begin exercises and which exercises are appropriate.
D. Avoid using the affected arm for eating: This is the most appropriate instruction for the client. After a modified radical mastectomy, the affected arm may be temporarily restricted in movement or may be sensitive. To avoid strain or discomfort, the client should avoid using the affected arm for activities such as eating until they receive further guidance from their healthcare provider.
