Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
At home a client should not try to finish office work or resolve family problems before bedtime. Noise should be kept to a minimum. Soft music may be used to mask noise if necessary. Reading a light novel, watching an enjoyable television program, or listening to music helps a person to relax. Relaxation exercises can be useful at bedtime. A dairy product snack such as warm milk or cocoa that contains L-tryptophan may be helpful in promoting sleep.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
The nurse should explain that, if possible, the bedroom should not be used for intensive studying, snacking, TV watching, or other nonsleep activity, besides sex. The nurse should instruct the cli-ent to avoid heavy meals for 3 hours before bedtime; a light snack may help. The nurse should also instruct the client to try to exercise daily, preferably in morning or afternoon, and to avoid vigorous exercise in the evening within 2 hours of bedtime. Getting out of bed and doing some quiet activity until feeling sleepy enough to go back to bed if the client does not fall asleep with-in 30 minutes of going to bed may also help.
