When assessing a client for sleep disturbances, the associated fatigue and mood disturbances have been linked to all EXCEPT which of the following?
a. a pattern of daily naps and rest periods
b. medications, herbal remedies, other chemical use and exposure
c. which hours during the day or night the client usually works
d. chronic sleep shortage or deprivation
A
A pattern of daily naps and rest periods are not associated with fatigue and mood disturbances. While naps may hamper an individual's night sleep, establishing a pattern of naps and rest periods does not, in and of itself, create additional fatigue and mood disturbance. Medications, the hours a client works, and shortage of sleep can help create fatigue and mood disturbances. These issues affect both the amount of sleep received nightly and the quality of sleep received.
