3. Set aside a block of time each day for stress reduction.
4. Engage in distraction activities to minimize the stress.

because implementation occurs after the stressor has been assessed and a plan developed.
Engaging in distraction is incorrect because implementation occurs after the stressor has been
assessed and a plan developed.
