A client diagnosed with major depressive episode and substance use disorder has an altered sleep pattern and demands that a psychiatrist prescribe a sedative.
 
  Which rationale explains why a nurse should encourage the client to first try nonpharmacological interventions? 1. Sedative-hypnotics are potentially addictive, and their effectiveness will be compromised owing to tolerance.
  2. Sedative-hypnotics are expensive and have numerous side effects.
  3. Sedative-hypnotics interfere with necessary REM (rapid eye movement) sleep.
  4. Sedative-hypnotics are known not to be as effective in promoting sleep as antidepressant medications.
