Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Imagery is the use of one's mind to generate images that have a calming effect on the body.
When using imagery for relaxation, the patient should visualize a comfortable and peaceful place. The goal is to offer a relaxing retreat from the actual work environment. Imagery can also be used to specifically target a disease, problem, or stressor.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The nurse's initial strategy should be further assessment of the stressors in the patient's life. Exercise, guided imagery, or understanding how to use coping strategies that worked in the past may be of assistance to the patient, but more assessment is needed before the nurse can determine this.
