A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving inpatient treatment for an eating disorder. The client states, 'I just canÔÇÖt sleep soundly here because itÔÇÖs too noisy.' Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The correct answer is C: Keep conversations and activities to a minimum during the nighttime. This is the best action as it addresses the client's concern directly by minimizing noise disturbances during the night, promoting a more conducive environment for sleep. Recommending the client to sleep during the day (A) may disrupt their natural sleep-wake cycle. Turning on the TV (B) may not address the underlying issue of noise. Telling the client they will get used to the noise (D) dismisses their current discomfort.
