Which assessment is most important to determine if a patient is receiving sufficient sleep?

A) Sleep-wake pattern
B) Frequency of nocturia
C) Hours of sleep each night
D) Whether the patient feels rested

Because sleep is a subjective experience,only the patient is able to report whether it is sufficient and restful.Patients are your best resource for describing a sleep problem and any change from their usual sleep and waking patterns.Number of hours of sleep,sleep-wake pattern,and number of times awake for nocturia are not the most important to assess to determine effectiveness of the patient's sleep,the subjective experience of the patient is the most important.
