Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A plan of care to promote rest and sleep should aim to identify factors that interfere with normal sleep patterns. This is a positive outcome as it demonstrates that the patient is gaining insight into their sleep patterns and is able to identify ways to improve it. Answers A, B, and D demonstrate either a continued reliance on medication, inadequate sleep hygiene practices, or lack of improvement in quality, respectively, and thus are not indicative of the effectiveness of the plan of care.
