A student nurse asks a peer, "What's the difference between recreation and relaxation?" The best response would be
a. "They're essentially the same."
b. "Relaxation usually lowers stress, but recreation can create stress."
c. "Relaxation exercises and recreation activities always lower stress."
d. "Relaxation requires knowledge of special techniques, but recreation takes no special skills."
ANS: B
Relaxation, by definition, interferes with the stress response. Recreation may create stress, especially if one engages in competitive activity. The statement, "They're essentially the same," is incorrect. Relaxation exercises elevate stress for about 3% of the population. "Relaxation requires knowledge of special techniques, but recreation takes no special skills" is an untrue statement.
