A pt admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) has sleep apnea. Which measure
would the nurse take to reduce sleep disturbances on the unit?
A. Switch off all the lights in the patient's room and the neighboring rooms.
B. Keep the ventilator alarms in the ICU off.
C. Do not conduct any patient care activity in that area.
D. Avoid scheduling procedures and medications near sleep time.
D. Avoid scheduling procedures and medications near sleep time.
The nurse will create an environment conducive to sleep, considering how and when
procedures and medications are scheduled. Keeping the ventilator alarms off is not
feasible and can be detrimental to the patient's health. While patient care activites
are disruptive environmental factors, nurses cannot eliminate all patient care
activities at night while patients are in the hospital. Reducing the number of lights
and noise levels at night can promote opportunities for sleep, but it is impractical to
switch off all the lights in the patient's room and the neighboring rooms. It is also a
safety hazard for staff.
In which way would the nurse define the practice of meditation for a pt?
A. "Meditation involves increased concentration and awareness."
B. "Meditation is a specific series of exercise stances."
C. "Meditation is a special type of breathing."

D. "Meditation involves one's mind to generate images that have a calming
effect."
A. "Meditation involves increased concentration and awareness."
Meditation is defined as a state of being with increased concentration and
awareness. Focusing on specialized breathing, exercise stances, and specific
images are goals or elements of meditation but do not directly define it.
Which questions would the nurse include during a sleep assessment?
A. "Do your parents have sleep problems?"
B. "Are you tired or sleepy most of the day?"
C. "Do you have cardiovascular health problems?"
D. "What kind of clothing do you wear to bed?"
B. "Are you tired or sleepy most of the day?"
Asking questions about whether a patient is sleepy or tired most of the day is a good
way to enlist information about the patient's sleep. Ask patients about daytime
sleepiness, nightmares, and any problems with activities of daily living. Asking about
parents' sleep problems, kinds of clothing, and cardiovascular health problems are
not part of a sleep assessment.
Which behavior by a pt who reports feeling tired all the time would be a priority
for the nurse to address?
A. Wearing soiled clothing
B. Sleeping 14 hours/night
C. Not drinking fluids for three days
D. Not bathing for one week
C. Not drinking fluids for three days
Not eating or drinking leads to an imbalance of fluids and electrolytes, which can
lead to life-threatening complications. Wearing clean clothes and bathing is not vital
to life. Sleeping all day and all night is not a life-threatening problem.
Which pt finding assessed by the nurse is a risk factor for developing
obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)? Select all that apply
A. Postmenopausal women
B. History of hypotension
