A client is dealing with chronic pain. The nurse suggests implementation of relaxation techniques. The nurse's most informed response to the client's question How is relaxing going to help my pain? would be:
 
  1. What have you got to lose? It could certainly help.
  2. It will increase the effectiveness of the pain medication you're taking.
  3. Relaxing has been very helpful for people, especially those in severe pain.
  4. Relaxing your muscles is a better way for your body to respond to the pain.

Research currently identifies which of the following as the primary reason nurses do not use complementary therapies?
 
  1. Workloads prevent routine implementation
  2. Client reluctance to participate appropriately

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Complementary therapies teach individuals ways in which to change their behavior to alter phys-ical responses to stress and improve symptoms such as muscle tension, gastrointestinal discom-fort, pain, or sleep disturbances. While one of the options appears too flippant an answer, the re-maining options may be true but do not address the question as thoroughly.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Nurses' lack of education about how to apply complementary techniques seems to be a barrier to their use of effective nonpharmacological interventions.
