A nurse is performing nasopharyngeal suctioning for an adult client. Which of the following techniques should the nurse use?

A. Understands that everyone dies eventually: Preschoolers typically do not have a concrete understanding of the concept of death or the inevitability of death for everyone. Their understanding is usually very limited and concrete, so this would not be consistent with their developmental stage.

B. Recognizes the parent will never wake up: Preschoolers may have difficulty understanding the permanence of death. They might think that the deceased parent will wake up eventually or return, as their grasp on the concept of permanence is not fully developed.

C. Expresses curiosity about the funeral service: While preschoolers may be curious about many things, including new experiences, their understanding of a funeral and its significance may be limited. They might not fully grasp the meaning behind the service but may ask questions out of curiosity.

D. Believes death is punishment for bad behavior: Preschoolers often think in magical or egocentric ways and may believe that death is a punishment for something they or others did wrong. This belief reflects their developmental stage, where they may not understand the abstract concept of death and may interpret it in relation to their own actions or behaviors.

A. Remaining in bed until falling asleep can worsen insomnia and create negative associations with the bed.
B. While maintaining a consistent sleep schedule is important, sleeping longer on the weekends can disrupt the circadian rhythm.
C. Keeping the television volume low can help with sleep, but it might not directly address the underlying issue of trouble falling asleep.
D. Correct. Regular exercise, especially during the day, can help regulate sleep patterns and improve the ability to fall asleep at night.
