Question 1 of 5
Mrs. Peterson complains of difficulty falling asleep, awakening earlier than desired, and not feeling rested. She attributes these problems to leg pain that is secondary to her arthritis. What is the most appropriate nursing diagnosis for her?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The most appropriate nursing diagnosis for Mrs. Peterson is 'Sleep Pattern Disturbances (related to chronic leg pain).' Mrs. Peterson's sleep issues are directly linked to her chronic leg pain, which is a result of her arthritis. This nursing diagnosis addresses the primary cause of her sleep disturbances and allows for interventions that focus on managing the pain to improve her sleep.
Choices A, B, and C are incorrect.
Choice A correctly identifies the relationship between sleep disturbances and chronic leg pain, addressing the root cause.
Choice B is incorrect as it only focuses on fatigue and does not encompass the broader sleep issues.
Choice C is not relevant as there is no indication that Mrs. Peterson lacks knowledge about sleep hygiene measures.
