A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who is receiving morphine via a patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) infusion device. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

A. While it's important to be flexible and anticipate interruptions, planning for them can lead to inefficient time management. It's better to focus on completing tasks and addressing disruptions as they arise.
B. While helping colleagues is important, taking on additional tasks can overload your workload and hinder your own time management.
C. Skipping meals is not a sustainable solution for time management. It can lead to fatigue, decreased productivity, and potential health problems.
D. This strategy helps to build momentum and a sense of accomplishment, making it easier to tackle more challenging tasks later. It also helps to reduce stress and procrastination.

A. This plan incorporates both a complementary therapy (massage therapy) and a conventional treatment (corticosteroid medications). This combination aligns well with integrative health principles, as it aims to manage pain and improve well-being through both physical and pharmacological means.
B. This option focuses solely on conventional medical assessments. While monitoring these parameters is essential for managing rheumatoid arthritis, it does not incorporate any complementary or integrative health strategies. It is more about evaluating the disease process than addressing holistic care.
C. This option combines conventional medication with occupational therapy, which can be considered a supportive, rehabilitative approach. However, it does not include complementary therapies, which are often a key component of integrative health practices.
D. This plan emphasizes surgical and physical therapy interventions, which are conventional treatments. While physical therapy can be beneficial, this option does not include complementary therapies, making it less aligned with integrative health principles.
