A nurse is teaching a client who has fibromyalgia syndrome about measures to reduce the occurrence of symptoms? Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Establish a regular sleep pattern.
Rationale:
🔷Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and sleep disturbances due to altered pain perception.
🔷Establishing a consistent sleep routine enhances restorative rest, reduces fatigue, and helps minimize pain flare-ups.
🔷Clients should maintain a balanced exercise routine such as low-impact activities (swimming, walking, stretching) rather than high-impact exercises like jogging, which can worsen symptoms.
🔷Adequate sleep and stress reduction are key nonpharmacologic interventions for symptom control.
🔷Sleep hygiene includes maintaining a dark, quiet environment, avoiding caffeine before bedtime, and following a consistent sleep–wake schedule.
