The nurse knows that which of the following habits may interfere with a client’s sleep?

1. Listening to classical music
2. Finishing office work
3. Reading novels
4. Drinking warm milk

ANSWER

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.
