Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Deep breathing is a relaxation technique that can help reduce pain by increasing oxygen delivery, decreasing muscle tension, and promoting a sense of calmness. The nurse should instruct the client to breathe slowly and deeply through the nose and exhale through the mouth.
B. Heat therapy may provide relief for muscle-related back pain but should not be applied for prolonged periods as it may cause tissue damage.
C. Minimizing environmental stimuli can help the client focus on relaxation techniques and alleviate pain perception but is not as effective as deep breathing.
D. Ice therapy is typically used for acute pain or inflammation and may not be appropriate for mild, ongoing back pain.

A. The client has electrical wires secured to baseboards. B. The client wears rubber-sole shoes. C. The client's visual acuity is 20/40. D. The client takes an antihypertensive medication.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Securing electrical wires reduces tripping hazards and promotes safety.

B. Rubber-sole shoes provide better traction and reduce the risk of slips and falls.

C. Reduced visual acuity increases the risk of falls but not as much as taking antihypertensives do.

D. Taking an antihypertensive medication can be a potential fall risk, because it can cause hypotension and dizziness.
