The Teacher Refers a 9-Year-Old Student to the School Nurse

The teacher refers a 9-year-old student to the school nurse for a sleep assessment. The student is often asleep in class and is failing in several areas. The teacher suspects the child is not getting enough sleep. The nurse finds out that the child is going to bed at midnight and getting up at 7 AM. Which of the following is the best action for the nurse to take?

A) Have the child take a nap sometime during the day at school.
B) Tell the child to get more sleep on the weekend to catch up on sleep.
C) Ask the child to go to bed earlier at night, if at all possible, so the child won't fall asleep in class and will be able to pay attention.
D) Talk to the family about a 9-year-old's need for 9 to 10 hours of sleep per night so the child will grow and can pay attention at school.
