A 70-year-old client is reporting to the nurse a concern over taking longer to fall asleep and waking up three to four times during the night. The most therapeutic nursing response to the client's concern is:
 
  1. I think you need to mention your concerns to your health care provider.
  2. Older adults seem to need less sleep. Do you still feel rested in the morning?
  3. I suggest that you plan for a nap in the afternoon to make up for that missed sleep.
  4. As we age, those kinds of problems seem more common. Does this disruption in your sleep cause you to be tired or irritable?

Question 2

The client asks the nurse, How will I know if I'm really rested? The nurse's most therapeutic response is:
 
  1. Everyone's definition of rested is different. How would you define rested?
  2. When you aren't tired when you get up in the morning or after an afternoon nap.
  3. When you are mentally, physically, and emotionally ready to go about your daily activities.
  4. You are rested if you fall asleep easily and sleep uninterruptedly for at least 6 to 8 hours.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
An older adult awakens more often during the night, and it takes more time for an older adult to fall asleep. The answer provides an opportunity for a discussion about the effect this problem may be creating.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
When people are at rest they are in a state of mental, physical, and spiritual activity that leaves them feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready to resume the activities of the day. The remaining options ask questions or provide a limited view on what rested means.
