What is included in sleep safety considerations?

• A. Promote safe sleep practices
• B. Increase late-night caffeine
• C. Avoid documenting concerns
• D. Ignore sleep-disordered breathing

Answer: (A)

Sleep safety focuses on reducing risks during sleep by promoting safe sleep practices. This means educating about proper sleep positions, creating a safe sleep environment free of hazards, and ensuring bedding, surfaces, and gear don’t put someone at risk. By prioritizing these practices, you actively prevent sleep-related injuries and deaths. The other actions don’t fit this aim: increasing caffeine at night disrupts sleep and increases risk, not safety; failing to document concerns creates gaps in care and safety planning; and ignoring sleep-disordered breathing overlooks a major safety issue that needs assessment and intervention. So promoting safe sleep practices is the essential inclusion.
