A teen with an anxiety disorder is referred for biofeedback because her parents do not want her on anxiolytics. The nurse recognizes that the teen understands her health education on biofeedback when she states, "Biofeedback will
a. Allow me to direct my energies in an intentional way when stressed."
b. Allow me to manipulate my stressed out joints."
c. Help me with my thoughts, feelings, and physiological responses to stress."
d. Let me assess and redirect my energy fields."
C
By using electromechanical instruments, a person can receive information or feedback on his or her stress level. Having this knowledge allows the patient to develop awareness and voluntary control over his or her physiological symptoms. Biofeedback does not address energy fields. Directing energies is therapeutic touch. Manipulation of body alignment and joints is done by a chiropractor.
