Rationale: A nightlight is needed for client safety to reduce the risk of falls if the client should get out of bed unattended. It is important to reduce environmental stimulation and provide a consistent daily routine for a disoriented client. Noise levels, including radio and television, may add to the confusion and disorientation. Moving the client to a room near the nurses' station is not the first action.
