B) Advise the client to let the sensations happen.

D) Instruct the client to take an initial slow, deep breath.
Ans: C
When implementing simple relaxation techniques, it would be most important to ensure that the environment is quiet and not a distraction, with the lights dimmed and a comfortable temperature. Have the client assume a relaxed position, instructing him or her to relax and let the sensations happen. Using a low tone of voice with a slow, rhythmic pacing of the words, the nurse would instruct the client to take an initial slow, deep breath.
