Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
A behavioral technique for modifying stress is to take control rather than become immobilized. This is also known as alternative behavior. Another behavioral approach to reduce stress is to sometimes say no, in order to avoid becoming overwhelmed and more stressed. Changing jobs or avoiding the person or the petty jobs would not help and may be unrealistic responses.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
During a prescribed ambulatory electrocardiography test, the client should not shower or swim; a sponge bath is permitted as long as the monitor does not get wet. The client also should avoid magnets, metal detectors, electric blankets, and high-voltage areas that may cause artifacts on the recordings that interfere with an accurate interpretation of the test results.
