A nurse is providing teaching to a client who is anxious about their mastectomy scheduled in 2 hr. Which of the following complementary therapies should the nurse recommend to the client?

A. The client reports frequently having a headache in the morning: Frequent morning headaches can indicate sleep-related issues such as sleep apnea or bruxism (teeth grinding), both of which can significantly affect sleep quality and overall health.

B. The client reports having vivid dreams about their childhood: Vivid dreams can occur naturally, especially during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Although they may be unusual, they are not typically a cause for concern.

C. The client reports taking 30 min to fall asleep on average: Taking up to 30 minutes to fall asleep is within normal limits for most people. This is not a concerning finding and does not necessarily require reporting unless the client is experiencing other sleep disturbances.

D. The client reports sleeping about 7 hr on average: Sleeping around 7 hours per night is considered within the normal range for most adults. This is generally adequate sleep, and there is no indication of a significant issue that would require reporting to the provider.

A. The nurse's role is to provide the client with initial information about the procedure prior to obtaining informed consent: The nurse can provide information, but the responsibility for providing initial information and obtaining informed consent lies with the provider.

B. Clients are unable to change their mind once a consent form is signed: Clients have the right to revoke their consent at any time before the procedure, even after signing the consent form. Consent is an ongoing process, and clients can change their decision at any point.

C. The provider performing the procedure is responsible for obtaining informed consent: It is the provider's responsibility to ensure the client understands the procedure, risks, and benefits, and to obtain informed consent.

D. The provider obtains verbal consent for the procedure without witnessing the client's signature: Written consent is required for procedures, and verbal consent is only valid in specific situations, such as emergencies.
