Question

The depressed client is receiving light therapy. which instruction would the nurse share with the client?

Answer 1

The answer to the question is "You will sit in front of the light box with your eyes open."

What is the rationale for using light therapy?

UV-blocking plastic screens are placed over white fluorescent tubes used in light therapy. No use is made of LED lights or safety goggles.

The person is seated in front of the box with his or her eyes open (although the client should not look directly into the light).

Sessions for light treatment typically last between 10 and 15 minutes at first, increasing eventually to 30 to 45 minutes. Sessions don't begin at 5 minutes and progress to 30 minute blocks.

The mechanism of action of light treatment is thought to involve retinal activation, not vagal stimulation, which causes an increase in serotonin in the brain while reducing melatonin levels.
