Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : D,E,F

Choice A reason:
Exercising in the evening can actually be counterproductive for some people when it comes to sleep. While regular exercise is beneficial for overall health and can contribute to better sleep, doing it too close to bedtime can stimulate the body, making it harder to relax and fall asleep.

Choice B reason:
Watching television in bed is generally not recommended as part of good sleep hygiene. The light from the screen can interfere with the body's production of melatonin, the hormone that signals it's time to sleep, and engaging content can keep the brain alert rather than allowing it to wind down.

Choice C reason:
Taking an analgesic before bed is not a general recommendation for better sleep unless pain is a specific issue that is preventing sleep. It's important to address the root cause of insomnia rather than masking symptoms with medication.

Choice D reason:
Avoiding alcohol in the evening is a good practice for better sleep. Alcohol can disrupt the sleep cycle and lead to fragmented sleep, even though it may initially seem to help with falling asleep.

Choice E reason:
Going to bed and waking up at the same time every day helps to regulate the body's internal clock, or circadian rhythm, which can improve sleep quality. Consistency is key for this practice to be effective.

Choice F reason:
Avoiding naps, especially in the late afternoon or evening, can help ensure that you are sufficiently tired at bedtime. Napping can interfere with nighttime sleep if done too late in the day or for too long.

Choice G reason:
Eating a heavy meal before bed can lead to discomfort and indigestion, which can make it harder to fall asleep. It's best to have a light snack if needed and avoid large meals close to bedtime.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A reason: Having the client sign a new surgical permit is not necessary unless the surgeon agrees to the addition of the procedure after being informed.

Choice B reason: The nurse should inform the surgeon about the client's request to include the removal of the second lipoma. The surgeon will decide if it is feasible and safe to add the procedure to the current surgical plan.

Choice C reason: The nurse cannot unilaterally add procedures to a surgical permit; this must be done by the surgeon after evaluating the client's condition and the risks involved.

Choice D reason: Notifying the surgical staff of the client's confusion does not address the client's request and may not lead to a resolution of the issue.

A. Fibromyalgia B. Peptic ulcer disease. C. Hypertension D. Hypothyroidism.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A reason: Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread pain, but it is not directly associated with obstructive sleep apnea.

Choice B reason: Peptic ulcer disease is not commonly linked to obstructive sleep apnea.

Choice C reason: Hypertension is a known complication of obstructive sleep apnea due to the recurrent episodes of low oxygen levels during sleep, which can lead to increased blood pressure.

Choice D reason: Hypothyroidism is a condition affecting the thyroid gland and is not typically a complication of obstructive sleep apnea.
