Study Notes
Sleep, Rest, Pain, and Safety Terminology and Interventions
- Sleep and rest terminology includes terms such as insomnia, nocturnal myoclonus, phase advance, restless leg syndrome, sleep apnea, and sleep latency.
- Sleep and rest assessment involves reviewing the amount and quality of sleep, medication use, bedtime rituals, presence of sleep disturbances, bedding and sleep environment, and factors that interfere with sleep.
- Sleep and rest nursing diagnosis may include insomnia, sleep deprivation, disturbed sleep pattern, fatigue, impaired comfort/pain, and risk for injury.
- The goals for patients in relation to sleep and rest include achieving quality sleep, feeling rested and energetic, preventing fatigue and promoting healing, preventing complications associated with sleep deprivation, improving activity, improving social interaction, and helping prevent depression and isolation.
- Interventions for sleep and rest may involve discussing medication options with physicians, encouraging non-pharmacological measures such as sleep wake routines, regular exercise, limiting naps and caffeine, and providing a comfortable sleep environment.
- Pharmacological measures for sleep may include the use of sedatives.
- Pain terminology includes acute pain, neuropathic pain, nociceptive pain, referred pain, and intractable pain.
- Pain assessment involves observing for signs of pain, such as grimacing, crying, limitation of movement, and swelling, as well as conducting a physical examination to assess range of motion, sensitivity to touch, and temperature of affected areas.
- Pain assessment also involves documenting pain levels, descriptions of pain, actions taken to relieve pain, and the patient's response to interventions.
- Nursing goals for patients in relation to pain include achieving pain reduction, improving sleep, improving ability to perform activities of daily living independently, improving control over life and social interaction, improving self-esteem, and improving endurance and activity.
- Comfort interventions for pain may involve giving undivided attention, explaining procedures, providing touch, and utilizing techniques such as guided imagery, yoga, music, hot and cold therapies, distraction/diversion, relaxation techniques, and support groups.
- Safety terminology includes environmental assessment, risk factors for falls, and patient problems related to safety, such as trauma, injury, immobility, infection, impaired skin integrity, self-care deficit, situational low self-esteem, imbalanced nutrition, and activity intolerance.
- Safety interventions involve identifying clients at high risk for injury, orienting clients to new surroundings, educating and encouraging the use of adaptive devices and ambulatory aids, avoiding physical or chemical restraints, advising clients to change positions slowly, keeping the environment clutter-free and well-lit, assisting with transfers, storing cleaning solutions safely, reviewing safe medication use, encouraging prompt treatment for changes in physical and mental health, reviewing home for safety risks, and referring to social services for resources.
