Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Play music in the client's room.
Rationale:
◈ Playing music is a nonpharmacological intervention that can help distract the client from pain and promote relaxation.
◈ Keeping the room well lit may stimulate the client and disrupt rest, which can worsen pain perception.
◈ A cool room may increase discomfort or muscle tension in some clients.
◈ Encouraging abstaining from distractions is counterproductive to pain management.
◈ Nonpharmacological interventions like music complement medication and improve holistic care.
