Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anjelica's control-oriented personality suggests that she would benefit from a problem-focused intervention that provides her with specific information on how to manage her pain, rather than an emotion-focused intervention that focuses on her emotional response to the pain. A tailored health-promotion message that offers practical suggestions for managing pain, such as deep breathing techniques or medication options, would likely be the most effective in helping Anjelica feel prepared and in control during her surgery.
