Correct Answer is A

No explanation

A. "Wear an eye patch on the right eye at all times." B. "Implement a schedule to include periods of rest." C. "Engage in a vigorous exercise program." D. "Plan to relax in a hot tub spa each day."

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. "Wear an eye patch on the right eye at all times."
An eye patch may be recommended alternating between eyes for short periods to relieve diplopia, but wearing it continuously on one eye can lead to eye strain and decreased depth perception.

B. "Implement a schedule to include periods of rest."
Fatigue is a common and debilitating symptom in clients with MS. Scheduling regular rest periods helps prevent overexertion, which can worsen symptoms and increase the risk of relapse.

C. "Engage in a vigorous exercise program."
Vigorous exercise may exacerbate MS symptoms, particularly fatigue and heat sensitivity. Instead, a moderate, low-impact exercise program (e.g., swimming, yoga) is more appropriate.

D. "Plan to relax in a hot tub spa each day."
Heat can worsen MS symptoms (a phenomenon known as Uhthoff’s sign). Hot environments, such as hot tubs or spas, should be avoided to prevent symptom exacerbation.
