A nurse practitioner emphasizes the importance of the staff engaging in activities that help restore peace and balance between the mind and body. Which of the following might be an appropriate therapy for this?
1. Bike riding
2. Cake decorating
3. Reading
4. Storytelling
Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: Mind-body therapies include imagery, meditation, storytelling, music therapy, and yoga-all of which are complementary therapies that bring balance to thoughts and emotions. Practice of one or more mind-body therapies is an effective self-care strategy to help restore peace and balance. The other three options are not considered mind-body therapies.
