    A nurse is discussing stress relief with a client. Which of the following statements by the client indicates a need for further teaching?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Listening to music is an effective stress-reduction strategy. It can lower heart rate, reduce muscle tension, and promote relaxation, making it a safe and beneficial coping mechanism. B. Vigorous exercise immediately before bedtime can increase heart rate, core body temperature, and alertness, which may interfere with the ability to fall asleep. The client should be advised to exercise earlier in the day or engage in calming activities closer to bedtime. C. Journaling is a recognized stress-relief technique. It allows the client to process emotions, clarify thoughts, and reflect on stressful experiences, promoting emotional wellness and coping.
