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

A) Bright light: Exposure to bright light, especially in the evening or at night, can interfere with the body's production of melatonin, a hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle. Bright light exposure can disrupt circadian rhythms, making it more challenging to fall asleep and stay asleep.

B) Drinking caffeinated beverages in the evening: Caffeine is a stimulant that can interfere with sleep by blocking the effects of adenosine, a neurotransmitter that promotes sleepiness. Consuming caffeinated beverages in the evening can delay the onset of sleep and reduce overall sleep duration.

C) A 20-minute nap during the day: While short naps can be beneficial for some individuals, especially if they are sleep-deprived, napping for too long or too late in the day can disrupt the body's natural sleep-wake cycle. Short naps can be refreshing, but longer or late-day naps can make it harder to fall asleep at night.

D) Emotional stress: Stress and anxiety can trigger the body's "fight or flight" response, leading to increased alertness and difficulty relaxing or falling asleep. Chronic stress can disrupt the sleep-wake cycle, leading to difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep and resulting in poor sleep quality.

E) A regular bedtime schedule: Having a consistent bedtime schedule can actually help regulate the sleep-wake cycle by reinforcing the body's internal clock. Going to bed and waking up at the same time each day, even on weekends, can help improve sleep quality and make it easier to fall asleep and wake up naturally.

A) "It's a good idea to help make sure your husband can sleep comfortably.":
This encourages the partner to administer medication, which can lead to overmedication and potential harm.

B) "Why do you think your husband needs more medication when he is asleep?":
This might cause the partner to feel defensive. It also does not provide the necessary education about the correct use of the PCA pump.

C) "Next time you think he needs more medication, call me and I'll push the button.":
This is inappropriate as well. It does not address the core issue that only the patient should be pressing the button to ensure safe and appropriate use of the PCA pump.

D) "Your husband should decide when more medication is needed.":
This educates the partner about the proper use of the PCA pump, emphasizing that only the patient should press the button to ensure they are receiving medication only when they feel pain. This minimizes the risk of overmedication and adverse effects.
