Feedback:
The nurse should encourage the client to perform chair exercises during the day since this promotes sleep. Sleeping 4 to 5 hours during the day would interfere with nighttime sleep. The older adult requires about 7 to 9 hours of sleep within a 24-hour period. Engaging the client in watching television before sleep may interfere with sleep because it is stimulating in nature. Exercise that is performed too close to bedtime may similarly stimulate the client and interfere with sleep.
