  1. As a pulmonary nurse, a significant proportion of your nursing care is spent in dealing with patients who have sleep disturbances, some resulting in the need for a sleep study. The patient with whom you are collaborating is a nursing student who is in his final year of nursing school and is “constantly sleepy.” The student describes his frequent inability to sleep and only getting 2 to 3 hours of sleep per night for the last 4 months. His wife, accompanying him to this appointment, reports he snores loudly and during a large percentage of his sleep time. (Learning Objectives 6 and 7)
    1. Which factors in the nursing student’s life could be contributing to his sleeplessness?
    2. Outline sleep hygiene recommendations that could increase his sleep time.
    3. How would you categorize the patient’s insomnia?
    4. What signs indicate the possibility of sleep apnea?
    5. List appropriate etiologies for sleep deprivation nursing diagnoses for this patient.

After doing a chest x-ray, your doctor says the results are inconclusive. So, you are put on a six-month course of isoniazid to be safe. About six months later, while sitting in your medical microbiology class during a lecture on tuberculosis, you suddenly realize why you had that positive reaction to the skin test six months earlier. It had nothing to do with being infected, but was because you were born in Norway and your family moved to the United States when you were four years old.

3. What is going on here? Discuss in detail. 4. A while later, you told a friend of yours who is HIV-positive about your TB scare. She said that her doctor doesn't typically use the TB skin test on her, even though people with HIV are more susceptible to TB. Why is the skin test not always a reliable TB test for those with HIV?
