After reviewing this week’s readings and media on Stress and Stress Management, take some time to reflect upon the importance of stress management for yourself and your patients. Then, please respond to the following TWO discussion board questions.
Remember to include an APA formatted in-text citation AND corresponding reference from a recent (within last 5 years), professional journal or website (NIH, CDC, etc.). (Failure to include BOTH an in-text citation AND a corresponding reference will result in a significant point deduction. Please contact your coach if you have any questions about this BEFORE submitting your post to the discussion board this week.) You do not need an in-text citation/reference for both questions, but the FIRST question DOES require an in-text citation and reference.
What are some of the benefits of Stress Management? What are some of the obstacles to performing Stress Management strategies? (in-text citation and reference required)
What are some techniques that you have successfully utilized to manage your own stress? How often do you use these techniques? Describe some of the benefits you have experienced. (no reference required)

An APA formatted in-text citation AND corresponding reference from a recent (within the last 5 years), professional journal or website (NIH, CDC, etc.) is required in your original discussion posting. Blogs, magazines, and newspapers are NOT considered scholarly, professional sources.
