Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cereal with milk is a good option for a bedtime snack because it contains carbohydrates that can help with sleep and milk contains tryptophan which is known to induce sleep. Additionally, it is a light and easy-to-digest option for a hospitalized client. Tea and crackers are also a good option, but it depends on the type of tea and crackers. Chips and salsa and hot chocolate are not recommended as they are high in sugar and fat, and may interfere with sleep.
