Using a tanning bed should be avoided by clients with SLE as it can aggravate the condition and worsen the symptoms. The UV rays from tanning beds can cause photosensitivity in clients with SLE, leading to skin rashes and other symptoms. The other options listed do not specifically pose a risk to clients with SLE.
