c. The client experiences mental cloudiness for 30 to 60 min.
The client was easily awakened.The nurse should identify that a client who was easily
awakened was most likely in stage 1 of the sleep cycle, rather than stage 3. During
stage 1 of the sleep cycle, the client begins to relax and body and eye movements
begin to decrease. If left uninterrupted, the client will progress quickly to stage 2 of
sleep, where awakening becomes more difficult.
The client states that they were having a pleasant dream.Stage 4 of the sleep cycle,
also known as rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, is the dreaming stage of sleep. If a
client is awakened during this stage, their dreams will be interrupted.
The client experiences mental cloudiness for 30 to 60 min.MY ANSWERStage 3 of the
sleep cycle is the deepest stage of sleep in which muscle, tissue, and bones regenerate
and the immune system strengthens. If a client is awakened during stage 3 of the sleep
cycle, the nurse should expect the client to experience mental cloudiness for 30 to 60
