A client is concerned that her habit of sleeping during the day and being awake at night is not “healthy or normal.” The nurse’s most therapeutic response to the client’s concern is:
1. “What makes you think that sleeping during the day and being up at night is un-healthy or abnormal?”
2. “Many people share your sleep habits. As long as you feel all right, I don’t think there is anything to worry about.”
3. “Are you interested in changing your sleep habits for any particular reason? Is sleeping during the day a problem for you?”
4. “Everyone has a different biological clock that controls his or her sleep cycle. As long as you are sleeping and functioning well, your habit isn’t abnormal or un-healthy.”
ANSWER
ANS: 4
All persons have biological clocks that synchronize their sleep cycles. If the sleep pattern does not adversely affect the client’s health or ability to function, it is not problematic.
