A nurse is evaluating the sleep/rest pattern of a 78-year-old client who reports waking up multiple times during the night. Which of the following interventions is best to recommend to improve the client’s sleep quality?
Maintain a consistent bedtime and wake time routine to regulate the sleep-wake cycle.
Encourage the client to avoid caffeine after lunch to prevent sleep disturbances.
Suggest taking short naps during the day to address nighttime sleep interruptions.
Recommend reducing background noise at night to promote relaxation.
Maintaining a consistent bedtime and wake time routine stabilizes the body's circadian rhythm, helping promote better sleep over time. While minimizing caffeine is helpful, it does not directly address the structural routine of sleep. Environmental factors like reducing background noise at night can support sleep but lack the long-term impact of regulating the sleep-wake cycle. Encouraging naps during the day can interfere with the body's natural sleep rhythm, further disrupting nighttime sleep quality.
