A nurse is teaching a class about aromatherapy. The nurse should include that which of the following essential oils can promote sleep

A) Cheyne-Stokes respirations:
Cheyne-Stokes respirations are characterized by a cycle of gradually increasing and then decreasing respirations followed by a period of apnea. This pattern repeats in a regular cycle. It is commonly observed in clients with conditions affecting the central nervous system, such as traumatic brain injury, stroke, or brain tumors. Cheyne-Stokes respirations can also occur during the dying process. The alternating periods of hyperventilation and apnea result from fluctuations in oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood.

B) Kussmaul respirations:
Kussmaul respirations are deep, rapid, and labored breathing patterns often observed in clients with metabolic acidosis, particularly diabetic ketoacidosis. Unlike Cheyne-Stokes respirations, Kussmaul respirations do not involve periods of apnea.

C) Apneustic respirations:
Apneustic respirations are characterized by prolonged inspiratory gasps followed by insufficient expiration. This irregular breathing pattern typically indicates damage to the pons, a part of the brainstem involved in regulating breathing. Apneustic respirations are different from the pattern described in the scenario.

D) Stridor:
Stridor is a high-pitched, noisy respiratory sound heard on inspiration that indicates upper airway obstruction, such as from swelling, foreign body aspiration, or tumors. It is not associated with the alternating pattern of hyperventilation and apnea described in Cheyne-Stokes respirations.

A) The client's hand is cool and pale: A cool and pale hand suggests decreased circulation, which could be due to the restraint being too tight and impeding blood flow. Loosening the restraint can improve circulation and prevent complications such as tissue damage or nerve injury.
B) The client has full range of motion in her wrist: While it's important to ensure that the client can move comfortably within the restraint to prevent stiffness and maintain circulation, full range of motion alone may not necessitate loosening the restraint. However, if the client's movements are restricted or uncomfortable due to the tightness of the restraint, loosening may be necessary.
C) The client is attempting to remove the restraint: This indicates that the restraint may be too loose or improperly applied, allowing the client to manipulate it easily. The nurse should assess the fit of the restraint and adjust it as needed to prevent the client from removing it while still ensuring safety and appropriate immobilization.
D) The client has a capillary refill of less than 2 seconds: While a rapid capillary refill indicates good circulation, it alone may not warrant loosening the restraint. However, if the client experiences discomfort or other signs of impaired circulation despite rapid capillary refill, the restraint may need adjustment to alleviate pressure and improve circulation.
