Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale 1: Music therapy would be a good method to help someone relieve stress; it can help to reduce stress induced hypertension. Acupressure stimulates the healing process by bringing blood supply to an injured area of the body, and would not be beneficial in treating hypertension. Herbals would not be recommended, as they could impede or augment the prescribed medication. Homeopathy is a technique that gives the client small doses of various substances to stimulate the body's immune system, and would be more useful for an illness related to the immune system.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: Objective data are data that can be observed. Vital signs are evident to the nurse. Stressors, reaction to medications in the past, and religious beliefs are examples of subjective data. The nurse cannot see any of these things, and must rely on the client's perception of them.
