In addition to obtaining the client's vital signs, the nurse should ask the following questions to assess the client's status when the client is receiving temazepam for a sleep disturbance: Is the client uncomfortable? Is it too early for the client to receive the drug? Are there disturbances in the environment that may keep the client awake? There is no need for a consent form to be signed. Asking about insulin use has no impact on the use of the drug.
