Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client who has disturbed sleep patterns. Which measures should the nurse implement to promote sleep? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Correct Answer: A (Dimming the lights) Rationale: 1. Dimming the lights helps create a conducive environment for sleep by signaling the body to produce melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles. 2. Reduced light exposure promotes relaxation and triggers the body's natural sleep mechanisms. 3. Bright lights can interfere with the body's circadian rhythm, making it difficult to fall asleep. Summary of Incorrect Choices: B. Administration of a diuretic is unrelated to promoting sleep and may actually disrupt sleep patterns by causing frequent trips to the bathroom. C. Promoting daytime exercises can be beneficial for overall health but may not directly address disturbed sleep patterns. D. Suggesting a bottle of wine before sleep is not recommended as alcohol can disrupt sleep quality and lead to fragmented sleep patterns.
