Clients require stress management when they are easily frustrated, feel hopeless, cry easily, and are reluctant to leave home. An action that would not lead to a healthy decrease in the stress is to:
1. Utilize all familiar coping strategies.
2. Spend time with family and friends.
3. Not hold themselves directly responsible.
4. Maintain a daily routine.

Rationale: Healthy coping skills will assist the client to manage stress. However, some familiar coping strategies may be unhealthy, such as increased smoking or alcohol use. Maintaining a daily routine promotes a sense of accomplishment.
