Supporting the client in participating in cultural and spiritual rituals promotes environmental control. It provides a sense of familiarity, comfort and a way for the client to connect with their cultural identity. Option A, giving time options, may be appropriate for some situations but does not necessarily promote environmental control. Option B, teaching good nutrition habits, is important for overall health but may not be directly related to environmental control. Option D, observing for the use of touch among family members, may be culturally insensitive and not necessarily related to environmental control.
