Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The symptoms of irritability, difficulty with memory, constant fatigue, and an inability to fall asleep are all associated with disruptions in the different stages of sleep, particularly the non-rapid eye movement (NREM) phase. Late-night caffeine intake and exercising can cause hormonal changes that can disrupt this stage of sleep, leading to the reported symptoms. It is important for the client to minimize caffeine intake and exercise earlier in the evening. Additionally, the nurse should encourage the client to discuss any dietary restrictions and plans with their healthcare provider to ensure appropriateness for their needs.
