A)If the client appears to be getting an adequate amount of sleep each night, then ensuring the client is eating a proper diet would be the first response to fatigue. A sleep study is not indicated for a client who is getting adequate sleep, and keeping a journal of the client's behavior is a step that would follow dietary recommendations if those don't address the fatigue. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is an approach that would follow other, less intensive approaches should they fail to address the fatigue.
