Which nursing question would elicit the most thorough assessment data regarding the client's recent sleeping patterns?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Option 3 is a question and provides the client the opportunity to express thoughts and feelings. The remaining options could lead to a one-word answer that would not provide thorough assessment data. Additionally, one night of sleep may not tell the nurse how the pattern has been over time.
