Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing the status of a patient who is sleeping. Which assessment data indicate that the patient is most likely in stage 3 of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Decreased respirations, slow heart rate. Stage 3 of NREM sleep is characterized by deep sleep with slow brain waves. During this stage, the body enters a state of deep relaxation, leading to decreased respiratory rate and a slow heart rate. This indicates that the patient is in a deep stage of sleep.
Choices A, B, and C all include rapid heart rates, which are not consistent with the characteristics of stage 3 NREM sleep.
Therefore, they are incorrect.
