B
The ability to tolerate stressful events can be influenced by nursing interventions such as hypnosis, imagery, relaxation, and music therapy. One explanation of this is the concept of mind modulation, coined by Rossi. Mind modulation is the processes by which thoughts, emotions, attitudes, and feelings are converted by the brain into neurohormonal messenger molecules. These neurohormonal messenger molecules then travel throughout the body, influencing different body systems, resulting in sympathetic or parasympathetic responses.
