Coping with multiple stressors can lead to feelings of being overwhelmed, heightened anxiety, and decreased ability to cope with each stressor individually.
A. Undergoing a biopsy can be a stressful experience due to uncertainty about the results and fear of the procedure itself. However, the level of difficulty in coping with this stressor can vary among individuals depending on factors such as their coping mechanisms, social support, and previous experiences with medical procedures.
B. Relocating to an assisted-living facility can be a significant life transition, involving changes in living arrangements, loss of independence, and adjustment to a new environment. This stressor can be particularly challenging for individuals who have strong attachments to their current living situation or who are facing health-related issues that necessitate the move.

While providing a bedtime snack may help alleviate hunger and promote comfort, especially if the client is on a restricted diet or experiencing appetite changes, it may not directly address factors affecting sleep quality.

Therefore, while a bedtime snack may be beneficial in some cases, it may not be the most important intervention for improving sleep quality in the acute care setting.
B. Pulling curtains around the bed can help create a sense of privacy and reduce visual distractions, which may contribute to a more conducive sleep environment. Enhanced privacy can also promote relaxation and feelings of security, potentially improving sleep quality. However, while privacy curtains can mitigate some external disturbances, they may not completely eliminate factors that affect sleep, such as noise or light.
D. Providing a backrub can promote relaxation, relieve tension, and enhance comfort, which may contribute to improved sleep quality for some patients. Massage therapy has been shown to reduce stress and promote relaxation, potentially facilitating better sleep. However, while backrubs can be a beneficial adjunct to promoting relaxation and comfort, they may not address all factors that affect sleep quality in the acute care setting.
