Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Bright lights can disorient people; soft lighting can make them more sedate. Staff should avoid using the glare of the fluorescent light and turn on one or more of the incidental lamps that can offer comfort and support work activities. Incidental lamps should not be removed from the rooms. Keeping a bedside light on in the rooms all night could interrupt the patients' sleep. The patients need to be exposed to natural light, so the curtains should not be closed during the day.
