Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct instruction for the client before a stress test is to wear loose, comfortable clothing, and walking shoes. This is crucial as the stress test involves physical exercise, and the client should be prepared for the activity involved. Beta-blockers may need to be adjusted or held before the test as per healthcare provider's instructions. Fasting before the test is not typically required, and avoiding physical activity for 24 hours beforehand is not necessary and may interfere with the accuracy of the test results.
