A 22-year-old male client shares with the nurse that he is always tired. In assessing the client's sleep pattern to determine the quantity of sleep the client is getting, the nurse should ask:
1. "On a scale from 0 to 10, how much sleep to you think you get each night?"
2. "What time do you usually go to bed?"
3. "What time do you usually get up?"
4. "Do you have a bedtime ritual?"
ANS: 1
This question helps quantify the length of sleep that the client receives. A brief subjective method to assess sleep is a numeric scale with a 0 to 10 sleep rating. Ask individuals to separately rate their quantity and quality of sleep on the scale. Instruct clients to indicate with a number between 0 and 10 their sleep quantity then their quality of sleep with 0 being the worst sleep and 10 being the best sleep

After a nurse addresses an agitated client by setting limits in a calm, direct manner, the client begins pacing, exhibiting a clenched jaw and fists. The nurse would evaluate the approach as ineffective because:
1. The nurse lacks rapport with the client. 2. The nurse lacks adequate de-escalation and limit setting skills. 3. Some clients have limited control, so verbal interventions may not work, but this is not reflective of the nurse's skill. 4. In some cases verbal de-escalation and limit setting will not work and the nurse should start with a more restrictive measure.
