Encouraging exercise and relaxation techniques can help the patient cope with symptoms of premenstrual syndrome. Rest periods may also be helpful, but this alone may not be enough to address the patient's coping mechanism. Consuming alcohol (B) is not advisable as it can worsen PMS symptoms. Instructing patients to avoid contraception during menstruation (D) may not be relevant to the diagnosis of Ineffective Coping.
