A female client describes the most elaborate dreams to the nurse. She states that she could see colors, hear music, and even had the sensation of flying. The nurse replies to the client that her dreams indicate that she must be:
 
  1. Depressed
  2. Pragmatic
  3. Creative
  4. Mentally ill

Question 2

A 73-year-old male client who normally sleeps on his right side recently underwent a right-side hip replacement surgery and now has trouble sleeping. One of the interventions that the nurse might try with this client is to:
 
  1. Request medication to help the client sleep while in the hospital
  2. Carefully prop the client on his operative side using pillows to support the hip
  3. Schedule therapy for the evening to help the client become tired so he can sleep
  4. Question the client to learn more about his normal sleep pattern

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Personality influences the quality of dreams; for example, a creative person has elaborate and complex dreams, whereas a depressed person dreams of helplessness. Most people dream about immediate concerns such as an argument with a spouse or worries over work. Sometimes a person is unaware of fears represented in bizarre dreams.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Knowing a client's usual, preferred sleep pattern allows a nurse to try to match sleeping condi-tions in a health care setting with those in the home.
