Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Tertiary-level interventions assist the patient in readapting and can include relaxation training and time-management training. At the primary level of prevention, you direct nursing activities to identifying individuals and populations who are possibly at risk for stress. Nursing interventions at the secondary level include actions directed at symptoms such as protecting the patient from self-harm. Quad level does not exist.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
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.
