The nurse is teaching a client how to reduce the pain that she often experiences with fibromyal-gia. Which statement does the nurse include in the teaching?
a. "Wear gloves outdoors in cooler temper-atures."
b. "Avoid exercising when your muscles are sore."
c. "Make sure that you get enough sleep every night."
d. "Stay out of the sun as much as possible."
C
In many clients, the pain of fibromyalgia occurs as a direct response to sleep deprivation. En-couraging the client to get sufficient sleep every night can drastically reduce the amount of pain experienced. Wearing gloves will not decrease the pain of fibromyalgia, but it may help a disease such as Raynaud's phenomenon. Weight-bearing activities should not increase pain in a client with fibromyalgia. Similarly, sun exposure has not been identified as a causative pain factor.
