    A nurse is caring for a client who has fibromyalgia and chronic pain. Which of the following should the nurse recommend as an alternative method of treatment?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Identifying stressful situations is helpful, but it is not an alternative treatment—it’s part of overall coping strategies. B. Regular walking is beneficial but may not address the chronic pain and muscle stiffness specific to fibromyalgia as effectively as other methods. C. Limiting visitors is not a standard or therapeutic recommendation for managing fibromyalgia. D. Yoga combines gentle stretching, relaxation, and mindfulness, which can help reduce chronic pain and improve flexibility, making it a recommended alternative treatment for fibromyalgia.
