Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Deep relaxation techniques help in relieving pain by relaxing taut muscles. Guided imagery technique for pain management helps the client to visualize the destruction of the origin of pain. This procedure is often used for individuals who have cancer; they learn to change their pain perceptions and are able to tolerate discomfort. Activities and craft projects distract and divert the client's attention from the pain. Application of heat to a localized area of pain causes vasodilation and provides pain relief.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
If the client is in isolation or deemed infectious, the temperature indicator is not shared. The disposable single-use thermometer, not the tympanic, temporal, or rectal thermometer, is most often used in such environments.
