The nurse is preparing a client for discharge to home. daily cold therapy has been prescribed for the client, and the nurse instructs the client about this treatment. which statement by the client indicates adequate understanding of cold therapy treatment?

cold therapy also called cryotherapy is a therapy often recommended to reduce inflammation and swelling which is capable of causing pain especially at the joint or tendon.

Explanation:As the client is being discharged to continue treatment at home, the nurse is expected to advise him/her on how to apply the cold therapy. At home, the client is advised to apply an ice pack wrapped in a towel to the affected area. This is done for a short period of time, several times a day, so as to prevent nerve, tissue and skin damage. The client is made to understand that if the treatment makes the pain worse, he/she is to stop immediately. On the other hand, if the treatment hasn't help in few days, he/she can make an appointment to see the doctor for further treatment plans. I hope this helps.

because health skills are tools and strategies and also practical skills are also something you need to learn (like tools and strategies) and put it in reality.
