A 22-year-old male client shares with the nurse that he is always tire

A 22-year-old male client shares with the nurse that he is always tired. In assessing the client’s sleep pattern to determine the quantity of sleep the client is getting, the nurse should ask:

1. “On a scale from 0 to 10, how much sleep to you think you get each night?”
2. “What time do you usually go to bed?”
3. “What time do you usually get up?”
4. “Do you have a bedtime ritual?”

ANSWER

ANS: 1
This question helps quantify the length of sleep that the client receives. A brief subjective method to assess sleep is a numeric scale with a 0 to 10 sleep rating. Ask individuals to separately rate their quantity and quality of sleep on the scale. Instruct clients to indicate with a number between 0 and 10 their sleep quantity then their quality of sleep with 0 being the worst sleep and 10 being the best sleep
