A nurse is teaching a client who has multiple sclerosis. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?

Rationale: A. "Perform aerobic activities three times per week.": While exercise can be beneficial, excessive aerobic activity may worsen fatigue in clients with MS. Low-impact and well-paced exercise is more appropriate. B. "Soak in a hot bath.": Heat can exacerbate symptoms in clients with MS by increasing nerve conduction issues, potentially leading to worsening fatigue or vision changes. C. "Have your partner complete activities of daily living for you.": Encouraging dependence can contribute to decreased function and self-esteem. Clients should be supported to remain as independent as possible within their limits. D. "Schedule rest periods during the day.": Fatigue is a common symptom of MS. Rest periods help conserve energy and prevent exacerbation of symptoms, promoting better overall functioning.
