Which measure is effective in promoting sleep for clients?

Promoting sleep for clients often involves addressing their physical comfort and health needs. Helping individuals to void or ensuring that incontinent persons are clean and dry can significantly enhance their ability to sleep comfortably. If a client feels the need to use the bathroom but is unable to do so, or if they are uncomfortable due to wetness, it can lead to restlessness and difficulty falling or staying asleep. By addressing these needs, caregivers can create a more conducive environment for rest, thereby making it an effective measure for promoting sleep.

The other options, while they may contribute to relaxation or comfort, do not directly address the fundamental physiological needs that can disrupt sleep. For example, while reducing room temperature and playing soft music may help create a calming atmosphere, the underlying issues of discomfort or needing to use the restroom remain unaddressed. Similarly, late-night snacks might not be appropriate for all clients, especially if they have specific dietary restrictions or conditions that could interfere with their ability to sleep. Thus, ensuring cleanliness and comfort in regard to personal needs is a more direct and effective approach to promoting restful sleep.
