A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who is dependent on nicotine and wishes to discontinue smoking. The nurse should inform the client that which of the following is a manifestation of nicotine withdrawal?

Disorientation is a common side effect of ECT and is typically temporary. It may include confusion and difficulty recalling recent events or personal information. This post-treatment disorientation is often referred to as the "postictal state" and usually resolves within a short period of time.

Sleep apnea, tonic-clonic seizures, and paresthesias are not expected findings following ECT and would require immediate attention and intervention if they were to occur. It is important for the nurse to closely monitor the client's vital signs, oxygen saturation levels, and neurological status after the procedure to ensure their safety and well-being.

Regular physical exercise has been shown to promote better sleep. Engaging in daily exercise can help regulate the sleep-wake cycle, promote relaxation, reduce anxiety and stress, and increase overall sleep quality. It is important to note that exercise should ideally be done earlier in the day, at least a few hours before bedtime, as exercising too close to bedtime may actually have a stimulating effect and make it harder to fall asleep.

The other options listed are not the most appropriate recommendations for addressing difficulty in falling asleep:

1. "Sleep longer hours on the weekend." This suggestion may disrupt the client's sleep routine and can lead to inconsistent sleep patterns throughout the week, potentially making it more challenging to fall asleep on subsequent nights.
2. "Keep the television volume low while you are trying to fall asleep." It is generally recommended to create a sleep-friendly environment, which includes reducing external stimuli like noise, light, and electronic devices in the bedroom. However, watching television right before bedtime can interfere with sleep as the bright light and stimulating content can keep the mind awake.
3. "Remain in bed until you fall asleep." This recommendation may contribute to increased frustration and anxiety if the client is unable to fall asleep quickly. It is generally advised to practice good sleep hygiene, which includes getting out of bed if unable to fall asleep after a reasonable amount of time and engaging in a relaxing activity until feeling sleepy again.
