Answer to Question 1

C
Guided imagery is used as a means to create a relaxed state through the person's imagination, often using sensory words. Imagination allows the person to create a soothing and peaceful environment. Singing, back massage, and listening to music are other types of stress management techniques.

Answer to Question 2

B
The nurse should prepare for CPR and defibrillation. Ventricular fibrillation is a life-threatening rhythm.
Atropine is used for sinus bradycardia with hypotension and decreased cardiac output. In this case, the nurse should prepare to administer CPR, not atropine.
A pacemaker may be required for the client with sinus bradycardia. It is not the treatment for ventricular fibrillation.
The Valsalva manoeuvre is used to treat supraventricular tachycardia, not ventricular fibrillation.
