ATI RN Fundamentals Exam 3 Questions

Question 1 of 5

The nurse is caring for a 96-year-old client who has been admitted for treatment of a urinary tract infection. The nurse notices that the client takes two one-hour naps each day,one mid-morning and the other late afternoon. What intervention should the nurse implement?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Do nothing, as no action is necessary in this situation. The rationale behind this is that older adults often have different sleep patterns, and it is common for them to take naps during the day. This is known as polyphasic sleep and is considered normal for many elderly individuals. Trying to keep the client awake during the day or substituting physical therapy for nap times could disrupt the client's natural sleep-wake cycle and potentially lead to sleep deprivation. Asking for a sleeping pill is unnecessary and could increase the risk of adverse effects in an already frail older adult.
Therefore, the best course of action is to respect the client's natural sleep patterns and not intervene unnecessarily.
