Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cluster nursing activities and planned uninterrupted rest periods may help improve the patient's sleep pattern and reduce sleep disturbances. Administering sedatives or hypnotics without addressing the underlying cause of sleep deprivation may not help the patient in the long term. Silencing alarms on monitoring equipment may compromise patient safety, and explaining the types of noise in the environment is unlikely to improve the patient's sensory perception.
