    Which of the following interventions would be appropriate to implement in a long-term care facility? (Select all that apply.)

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Taking residents outside daily promotes exposure to natural light, which supports healthy sleep-wake cycles and improves mood and overall well-being. B. Avoiding waking residents during the night helps prevent sleep fragmentation, which is common in older adults and can affect physical and mental health. C. Limiting caffeine and fluids before bedtime helps reduce sleep disturbances and the need for nighttime bathroom visits, lowering fall risk. D. Ensuring all residents are in bed by 8:00 pm is not appropriate, as it does not respect individual preferences and natural variations in sleep patterns; such rigidity can lead to disrupted sleep and reduced autonomy. E. Instituting quiet time reduces environmental disturbances during the night and supports better sleep hygiene in a long-term care setting.
