 Sleep contributes to healing & tissue repair  Human Growth Hormone released  Protein synthesis, cell division  Brain tissue repair  May help us process information and experiences [learning]  REM sleep  During sleep, HR, RR, B/P decrease  Muscles relax [paralysis during deep sleep] 2NRS_105/320_Collings

 Anything that causes pain, anxiety, discomfort [e.g. full bladder] interferes with sleep  Hospitalization, illness, anxiety, pain= poor sleep  Respiratory disease – may need head up  Nocturia – disrupts sleep  Environment  Noise, smells, light levels, interruptions common in healthcare facilities  Sleeping alone 3NRS_105/320_Collings

[open ended]  S/SX – snoring, problems falling asleep /staying asleep/waking  Effect & Severity – impact on function, interaction, concentration  Contributing factors [meds, intake, exercise, illness, etc.]  Usual routine at bedtime/environment 7NRS_105/320_Collings

 Ineffective breathing pattern R/T obstruction of airway 2* to sleep apnea AEB snoring, daytime drowsiness  Ineffective Role Performance R/T poor concentration 2* to lack of sleep AEB decline in grades, falling asleep in class  Risk for injury R/T daytime drowsiness  Confusion r/t chronic lack of sleep AEB LOC, forgetfullness 8NRS_105/320_Collings

 Work with client to develop goal  Overall: improve sleep pattern/ improve daytime functioning  Client will verbalize satisfaction with quality of rest/sleep while hospitalized  Pt will demonstrate improved sleep pattern by napping less than 1 hour/day by end of week  Client will demonstrate proper use of CPAP for sleep apnea by end of visit today 9NRS_105/320_Collings

 Promote client control, information to decrease stress  Promote usual sleep patterns  Bedtime, routine  Control environment and interruptions  Within ability  Control Pain  position of comfort, massage, shower, pillows/position  Promote safety  Night light or bathroom light in unfamiliar room  Medications  Best for acute/short term use only 10NRS_105/320_Collings

 Client is best source for evaluating  Did client verbalize good/improved rest?  Does client nap less next day?  Is client behavior different?  Goal met?  Revise or continue with plan 11NRS_105/320_Collings
