Inquiring about the woman's nightly sleep habits can provide important information about her sleep patterns and any potential factors that may be contributing to her wakefulness. This will allow the nurse to develop an individualized plan of care that addresses her specific needs. Suggestions such as preparing for sleep or drinking warm milk may not address underlying factors that are contributing to her sleep disturbances. Proposing volunteer work at a thrift shop is not relevant to improving the woman's sleep quality.
