, A nurse is caring for an older adult client who reports that they wake up
frequently during the night. The nurse should identify that which of the
following is a characteristic of older adult sleep patterns that might
explain the client's frequent awakenings?
a. Older adults tend to spend more time in stage 4 sleep.

c. Older adults tend to spend less time in stage 1 sleep.
d. Older adults tend to spend more time in stage 2 sleep.
d. Older adults tend to spend more time in stage 2 sleep.
-Older adults tend to spend more time in stage 2 sleep compared to
adults. Stage 2 is a lighter stage of sleep than stages 3 and 4. This can
contribute to the client's frequent awakenings because environmental
factors, such as noise, are more likely to rouse someone who is in stage
2 sleep.
