Practice Question
A nurse is caring for a client in an outpatient clinic.
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Evening meal
Rationale:
💠 Eating late at night, especially after intense activity and close to bedtime, can interfere with sleep by increasing metabolic activity and gastric discomfort.
💠 The client eats dinner after showering post-exercise, which is typically close to bedtime (2330), making digestion and sleep onset more difficult.
💠 Heavy or late meals have been linked to sleep disturbances, especially when consumed within 2–3 hours of sleeping.
💠 The client exercises after 8 PM, which is very close to bedtime, possibly leading to elevated cortisol and adrenaline levels, making it harder to fall or stay asleep.
💠 Evening workouts can delay sleep onset, especially in sensitive individuals, as they can increase alertness and heart rate.
💠 This schedule change correlates with the onset of insomnia-like symptoms, making it a relevant contributor.
