For patients with a physical illness,the nurse helps control symptoms that disrupt sleep.Placing the patient in an upright position eases the work of breathing.Increasing the oxygen provided would require a reason to do so,and a physician's order is required.Providing a snack and encouraging the patient to read may be good interventions for patients,but the most appropriate would be raising the head of the bed.
