Practice Question

A nurse in a provider’s office is collecting data from an adult client. The client states that they are having difficulty sleeping. Which of the following strategies should the nurse recommend to promote sleep?

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

"Drink a glass of milk before bedtime."

Rationale:

🟦 Drinking a glass of milk before bedtime can promote sleep because milk contains tryptophan, an amino acid that supports relaxation and drowsiness.

🟦 A light snack such as milk helps prevent nighttime hunger, which can interrupt sleep.

🟦 This strategy is non-stimulating and supports a calming bedtime routine.

🟦 It fits recommended sleep hygiene practices by avoiding vigorous activity or stimulating activities before bed.

❌ Incorrect Options

❌ Long walk before bedtime — stimulates the body and increases alertness.

❌ One-hour nap daily — long naps can worsen insomnia and disrupt nighttime sleep cycles.

❌ Watching TV in bed — blue light interferes with melatonin and conditions the brain to associate the bed with wakefulness, not sleep.
