Feedback:
The nurse should encourage elderly clients to use relaxation techniques before bedtime such as chair rocking, imagery, meditation, deep breathing, progressive relaxation, soothing music, body or foot massage, reading nonstimulating materials, or watching nonstimulating television. Alcohol should not be used to produce sleep and a crossword puzzle may be too stimulating. The client should dress in warm, not cool, clothes.
