The nurse is working with Mr.Elinore,an air traffic controller.He states that he has significant life stressors at this time,is sleeping poorly,and it is affecting his ability to function.After developing a plan with Mr.Elinore that includes strategies to promote adequate rest and sleep,what would he and the nurse determine is an expected outcome?

A) Sleep at least 8 hours each night
B) List three positive coping mechanisms for anxiety relief
C) Report getting sufficient sleep to provide energy for daily activities
D) Manifest less anxiety after taking prescribed medications

The expected outcome that Mr. Elinore and the nurse would determine is that he will report getting sufficient sleep to provide energy for daily activities. This outcome is measurable and specific to the goal of promoting adequate rest and sleep, and it aligns with Mr. Elinore's stated concern about how poor sleep is affecting his ability to function. While options A and B are also important goals, they are not necessarily achievable outcomes that can be guaranteed through the plan developed by the nurse and Mr. Elinore. Option D is unrelated to the specific goal of promoting sleep and is not a measurable outcome.
