• A. I will use warm packs on my feet.
• B. I will use nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) for comfort.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. Using warm packs can exacerbate inflammation in plantar fasciitis. Choices B, C, and D are all appropriate interventions for managing plantar fasciitis.
