Which of the following data are most important to assess if a patient is receiving sufficient sleep?
a. Hours of sleep each night
b. Sleep-wake pattern
c. Whether the patient feels rested
d. Number of times the patient awakens during sleep
C
Because sleep is a subjective experience, only the patient is able to report whether it is sufficient and restful. Patients are your best resource for describing a sleep problem and any change from their usual sleep and waking patterns. Number of hours of sleep, sleep-wake pattern, and number times awakes while sleeping are not the most important to assess to determine effectiveness of the patient's sleep, the subjective experience of the patient is the most important.
