37
Q

Approximately___ million Americans have a chronic disorder of sleep and wakefulness that hinders daily functioning and adversely affects health

A

30-50

38
Q

About 75% to 80% of sleep during a night is

A

NREM

39
Q

NREM STAGE 1

A

very light sleep and lasts only a few minutes
individual is drowsy and relaxed
eyes roll from side to side, heart and RR drop slightly
can be readily awakened

40
Q

NREM STAGE 2

A

light sleep during which body processes continue to slow down
eyes are generally still, the heart and RR decrease slightly, body temp falls
lasts 10-15 min
constitutes 44% to 55% of total sleep

41
Q

STAGE 3 AND 4

A

the deepest stages of sleep
deep or delta sleep
HR and RR drop 20% to 30% below those exhibiting waking hours
difficult to arouse, not disturbed by sensory stimuli
skeletal muscles relaxed, reflexes diminished, snoring is most likely to occur
saliva production decreased
important for restoring energy and releasing important growth hormones

42
Q

REM sleep

  • peripheral blood vessels dilate
  • arterial BP falls
  • pulse rate decreases
  • cardiac output decreases
A

usually recurs about every 90 minutes and lasts 5 to 30 minutes. Most dreams take place during REM sleep, but usually won’t be remembered unless individual arouses briefly at the end of the REM period. During REM sleep, the brain is highly active, and brain metabolism may increase as much as 20%. EEG resembles that of wakefulness. Ach and dopamine released. Distinctive eye movement occurs, voluntary muscle tone is dramatically decreased and DTR are absent. Individual may be difficult to arouse or may awake spontaneously, gastric secretions increase. HR and RR are irregular. Regions of the brain that are used in learning, thinking, and organizing information are stimulated.

43

Q

A nurse is evaluating a nursing student’s understanding of medications. Which of the following statements by the nursing student indicates a need for further teaching?
1. “Antianxiety medications decrease levels of arousal by facilitating the action of neurons in the CNS that

2. “Sleep medications vary in their onset and duration of action and will impair waking function as long as
they are chemically active.”
3. “Sleep medications affect NREM sleep more than REM sleep.”
4. “Initial doses of medications should be low and increases added gradually, depending on the client’s response.”

53
Q

Types of sleep

A

NREM (non-rapid eye movement)
REM (Rapid eye movement)
*These two types of sleep alternate in cycles
*Whole cycle lasts about 90-110 minutes
*Most people experience 4-6 cycles in an 8 hour sleep period
-Stage 1-2 = 20-30 mins
-Stage 3 = 50-60 mins
-Stage 2-1 = 20 mins
-1st REM =10 mins
*Any sleep who is awakened must start again at stage 1

54
Q

NREM sleep

A

Occurs when activity in the RAS (reticular activating system) is inhibited.
70%-80% of sleep is NREM
Divided into 3 stages:
Stage One- Very light sleep, last only a few minutes, sleeper can be readily awakened
Stage Two- Body processes continue to slow down. HR + RR decrease slightly. Requires more stimulus to wake (e.g. touching or shaking)
Stage Three- Deepest stage of sleep (delta sleep), big drop in sleeper’s HR + RR, difficult to arouse, essential stage for restoring energy and releasing important growth hormones.

55
Q

REM sleep

A

Usually recurs every 90 minutes and lasts 5-30 minutes.
When dreaming occurs (won’t be remembered unless person is awakened right at the end of a REM cycle)
Brain is highly active (EEG resembles wakefulness)
Eye movement occurs, decreased voluntary muscle tone, decreased deep tendon reflexes.

56
Q

Bruxism

A

teeth grinding

57
Q

Enuresis

A

bed wetting

58
Q

sleep hygiene practices

A

(1) Identify personal activity and sleep
patterns.
(2) Engage participation in activity and
exercise during the day to reduce stress and
deplete energy.
(3) Avoid daytime naps unless they are less
than 30-minute naps (power naps) to
prevent insomnia at night.
(4) Avoid physical exertion for 1 to 2 hours
before bedtime to limit stimulation before
attempting sleep.
(5) Avoid heavy and spicy meals for 2 to 3 hours
before bedtime to reduce the risk of gastrointestinal (GI) distress and esophageal
reflux.
(6) Avoid nicotine and caffeine-containing foods
and beverages, such as coffee, tea, colas, and
chocolate, for 4 hours before bedtime to limit
the stimulating effects of these products
(half-life of nicotine is 1 to 2 hours).
(7) Avoid alcohol for 4 hours before bedtime to
limit the need to void during the night because of alcohol’s diuretic effect and to limit
early awakening.
(8) Consume products containing sleep promoting constituents: Small snack of
carbohydrates and protein, such as cheese
and crackers; carbohydrates limit the sensation of hunger while protein reduces the
sugar boost of the carbohydrate.
(9) Establish a daily bedtime routine, such as
reading, taking a warm bath, listening to
music, performing specific hygiene practices, and choosing a consistent time to go
to bed and arise.
(10) Control the environment, such as by turning off lights, limiting environmental noise,
setting a preferred environmental temperature, and using “white noise,” such as
sounds of rain drops or wind, to limit
stimuli that may delay or interrupt sleep.
(11) Perform relaxation techniques, such as
imagery, diaphragmatic breathing, and
progressive muscle relaxation, to reduce
muscle tension and promote relaxation.
(12) Get out of bed if not asleep within
30 minutes and return to bed when
sleepy to establish an expectation that
sleep should follow when in bed; use the
bed only for sleeping and sexual activity.
(13) Avoid consistent use of medication for sleep
to prevent physical or emotional dependence
