Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

B

Feedback
A The person with hypotension would not require the passive type of relaxation.
B Passive relaxation is useful for persons for whom the effort and energy expenditure of active muscle contracting leads to discomfort or exhaustion, such as the person with terminal cancer. This type of relaxation has been shown to contribute significantly to cancer palliative care.
C The person with work-related stress would not require the passive type of relaxation.
D The patient experiencing dysfunctional grieving would not require the passive type of relaxation. Therapeutic touch has been found effective in improving mood in bereaved adults.
