Answer to Question 1

D
Strategies for nurses to help cope with stress include: making personal health a priority; reminding one's self to maintain balance and control; learning to say no; identifying what drains energy; avoiding perfectionism; setting realistic expectations; nurturing the body, mind, and spirit; asking for help and accepting it when offered; and being aware of individual destructive methods of coping.

Answer to Question 2

D
Crisis intervention is a specific technique that helps patients regain equilibrium. Progressive muscle relaxation is a method of inducing relaxation by tensing and releasing various muscle groups. Guided imagery is a process in which the person uses all of the senses to experience the sensation of relaxation. Cognitive reframing is a technique based on the belief that a person's emotional response is determined by the meaning attached to the event.
