A corporate executive works 60 to 80 hours/week. The client is experiencing some physical signs of stress. The practitioner teaches the client to "include 15 minutes of biofeedback."
This is an example of which of the following health promotion interventions?
1. Guided imagery
2. Regular exercise
3. Time management
4. Relaxation technique
ANS: 4
Relaxation technique is correct. Biofeedback is a training program designed to develop one's ability to control the autonomic (involuntary) nervous system. Clients learn to monitor their func-tioning such as heart rate, blood pressure, skin temperature, or muscle tension, and learn to relax in response in order to create desired changes. Guided imagery is a relaxed state in which a per-son actively uses imagination in a way that allows visualization of a soothing, peaceful setting. This is not an example of guided imagery. Regular exercise is not an example of a regular exercise program. It does not improve muscle tone and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Time management techniques include developing lists of tasks to be performed in order of priority. This is not an example of time management.
