A client asks the nurse for help in learning to relax. The client claims to know about meditation and understands it is supposed to help a person relax but every time the client tries to meditate, the client is easily distracted
Considering the four major requirements that facilitate successful meditation practice, the nurse advises the client to: Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. Focus on one word, object, or symbol to look at or think about if the client finds it helpful.
2. Find a position that will be comfortable to hold for a while.
3. Find a quiet place away from distractions.
4. Have a religious belief in order for meditation to be successful.
5. Pay attention to "how well the client is doing at meditating."
1,2,3
Rationale: Focus on one word, object, or symbol to look at or think about if the client finds it helpful. A repeated word, an object, or symbol to look at or think about, or a specific thought or feeling helps keep distracting thoughts from entering the mind.
