B) The client states that guided imagery does not help with the symptoms.
C) The client states the need to increase intake of simple carbohydrates.
D) The client states that reducing caffeine intake will help.
Answer: D
The client stating that a reduction in caffeine intake will help is evidence that instruction was beneficial. The other client statements would indicate the need for additional instruction because guided imagery can be used to reduce stress and promote relaxation, and simple carbohydrates and sugars should be reduced.
