A nurse in an acute care facility is assisting with the development of an in-service about reducing environmental stressors to improve clients' sleep. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?

Wearing shoes with rubber soles can minimize noise and provide a quieter environment for the clients. It helps reduce disruptions caused by footsteps, especially during nighttime when clients are trying to sleep. Conducting change-of-shift reports near the clients' rooms can lead to increased noise levels and disturb clients' sleep. It is best to conduct reports in a designated area away from patient rooms to minimize disruptions. Turning on overhead lights briefly when checking IV lines can disturb clients' sleep, especially if done during nighttime. The use of alternative light sources or dimmed lighting can be less disruptive. Opening curtains between clients in semiprivate rooms can compromise privacy and contribute to increased noise levels. It is important to provide privacy for clients, especially during their rest periods.
