A client has reported to the nurse that his sprained ankle resulted from a careless accident. I seem so clumsy and unfocused lately.
 
  Which of the following assessment questions is most likely to reveal information regarding the cause of these symptoms?
  1. How many accidents have you had lately?
  2. Have the accidents resulted in serious injuries?
  3. Have there been any changes in your daily routine lately?
  4. Do you have any idea what is responsible for this lack of focus?

Question 2

A 9-year-old client asks the nurse, Why do I need to sleep? The nurse's most age-appropriate, informative response is:
 
  1. Everyone needs to sleep to feel rested.
  2. It gives your body a chance to really rest.
  3. You'll be able to do so much better in school if you're rested.
  4. Your body needs to rest in order to grow and be really healthy.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
A loss of REM sleep leads to feelings of confusion and suspicion. Various body functions (e.g., mood, motor performance, memory, and equilibrium) are altered when prolonged sleep loss oc-curs. Research estimates that traffic, home, and work-related accidents caused by falling asleep are often a result of sleep loss. This answer is the best question because it directly opens up the opportunity for the client to discuss possible sleep problems if they exist. The other questions are not inappropriate but are less likely to reveal the possible cause of the accidents.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Sleep contributes to physiological and psychological restoration, maintenance, and growth of the body at any age. The remaining options are not as effective at providing a thorough answer to the child's question. The body needs sleep to routinely restore biological processes.
