A client tells the nurse about starting an aerobic workout program to lose weight and help with insomnia. The client states that it still takes over an hour to fall asleep at night. Which action should the nurse implement?

Choice A reason: This is the correct action because the nurse should provide realistic expectations and positive reinforcement to the client. Lifestyle changes such as exercise can improve sleep quality and duration, but they may not have immediate effects. The nurse should encourage the client to continue the workout program and follow good sleep hygiene practices.

Choice B reason: This is not the best action because the nurse should focus on the client's sleep problem rather than the weight loss goal. While weight loss can be a benefit of exercise, it is not the primary reason why the client started the workout program. The nurse should not make the client feel that weight loss is the only measure of success.

Choice C reason: This is also not the best action because the nurse should not interrogate the client about the details of the exercise schedule. The nurse should respect the client's autonomy and preferences regarding physical activity. The nurse can offer suggestions or resources to help the client optimize the exercise schedule, but should not imply that the client is doing something wrong.

Choice D reason: This is another incorrect action because the nurse should not encourage the client to exercise every day or close to bedtime. Exercising too frequently or too late can interfere with the body's circadian rhythm and cause sleep problems. The nurse should advise the client to exercise at least three times a week and avoid exercising within three hours of bedtime.

Choice A reason: This is an incorrect response as it implies that the healthcare provider will disclose the client's laboratory results to the parents. However, the client is emancipated and has the right to privacy and confidentiality of their medical information. The nurse should respect the client's autonomy and consent.

Choice B reason: This is an incorrect response as it implies that the nurse will share the client's laboratory results with the parents. However, the client is emancipated and has the right to privacy and confidentiality of their medical information. The nurse should respect the client's autonomy and consent.

Choice C reason: This is an incorrect and rude response as it insults the parents and disregards their concern. The nurse should be polite and professional when communicating with the parents. The nurse should explain the legal and ethical reasons for not disclosing the client's medical information.

Choice D reason: This is the correct and respectful response as it informs the parents that the client is emancipated and has the right to privacy and confidentiality of their medical information. The nurse should respect the client's autonomy and consent and only give medical information to the client or their designated representative.
