Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Providing rest periods and determining valued activities can help the patient conserve energy and reduce fatigue. Spending more time with the patient can provide emotional comfort, but may not necessarily address the physical symptoms of fatigue. Limiting the use of analgesics may not be appropriate if the patient is experiencing pain. Providing larger meals with more seasoning may not be advisable if the patient has a poor appetite or is experiencing nausea or vomiting.
