The nurse is preparing to administer Tylenol to a client admitted with urination issues who also has difficulty sleeping (OSA).
Which interaction is most important for the nurse to implement before leaving the client?
Choice A is not the answer because elevating the head of the bed to a 45-degree angle may provide some relief for OSA, but it is not as effective as using a positive airway pressure device 1.
The client has difficulty sleeping due to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and using a positive airway pressure device can help keep their airway open and prevent dangerous pauses in breathing while they sleep 1.
Choice C is not the answer because lifting and locking the side rails in place is a safety measure but does not directly address the client’s OSA 1.
Choice D is not the answer because removing dentures or other oral appliances may provide some relief for OSA, but it is not as effective as using a positive airway pressure device 1.
