The client who has obstructive sleep apnea is being treated with a nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device, but has just been prescribed modafinil (Provigil).

What client statement indicates that teaching about these therapies has been effective?
1. “I am so glad that I won’t have to sleep in this machine anymore.”
2. “Once I get regulated on the Provigil, I will wean myself off the CPAP.”
3. “I will continue using my CPAP machine at night.”
4. “I can turn down the pressure on my CPAP machine in about 1 week.”

ANSWER

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: Provigil is a medication that is for the treatment of narcolepsy, not sleep apnea. It will not prevent sleep apnea, so the client must continue to use the CPAP machine as it was used prior to the Provigil.
