Question

question 1 of 5
the client is scheduled for a polysomnography to determine if the client has obstructive sleep apnea (osa). the nurse instructs the client to:
insert an oral appliance prior to attempting sleep.
take a prescribed sedative before trying to sleep.
apply a facial mask that will deliver positive air pressure.
anticipate sleeping overnight at a health care center.

Explanation:

Polysomnography is a sleep study that requires overnight monitoring. Oral appliances and positive - air - pressure masks are treatments for OSA, not for the diagnostic test. Sedatives can affect sleep patterns and are not used before a polysomnography as they can interfere with the accurate assessment of natural sleep.

Answer:

anticipate sleeping overnight at a health care center.
