Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is having difficulty sleeping and is pacing the floor. The client’s head is down, and he is wringing his hands. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Remain with the client. By remaining with the client, the nurse can provide support and reassurance, assess the client's emotional state, and ensure the client's safety. This action shows empathy and promotes therapeutic communication. Encouraging the client to go back to bed (
A) may not address the underlying issue causing the restlessness. Giving a PRN sleeping medication (
B) without further assessment may not be appropriate and could mask the client's feelings. Exploring alternatives to pacing (
D) is a good intervention but should come after providing immediate support and understanding the client's needs.
