Sleep deprivation can result from which of the following?
a. CPAP machine use
b. Mechanical ventilation

B
Not surprisingly, mechanical ventilation and the required care associated with it contribute to sleep disturbances. CPAP treats the obstruction and the snoring, choking, and gasping that accompany it, and it provides cardiovascular benefits. Hypnotics and analgesic medications may aid sleep. Nurses have a responsibility to administer these medications in the most efficient manner to promote sleep and to monitor effectiveness.
