    A nurse is caring for a client in an outpatient clinic. Exhibits Select the 2 findings the nurse should identify as factors that may interfere with the client's sleep.

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Caffeine is a stimulant and can interfere with sleep, especially if consumed in the afternoon or evening. It can lead to difficulty falling asleep and disrupt the sleep cycle. B. While heavy meals close to bedtime can cause discomfort or indigestion, a light evening meal generally does not significantly interfere with sleep for most individuals. C. The use of electronic devices, particularly before bedtime, can interfere with sleep due to the blue light emitted by screens. This light can suppress the production of melatonin, a hormone that helps regulate sleep. D. Regular exercise generally promotes better sleep. However, vigorous exercise close to bedtime may interfere with sleep due to the increase in adrenaline, but this is not always the case. E. The medications taken by the individual do not interfere with sleep.
