How to use this module
This module supplies sleep assessment and the skilled language that proves it required a licensed nurse — sleep quantity and quality, the contributing-factor analysis, sleep-aid safety, and sleep-disordered-breathing screening. Pain that disrupts sleep is assessed in Pain, mood and anxiety in Psychiatric / Mental Health, nocturnal dyspnea and orthopnea in Cardiovascular and the CHF overlay, and CPAP and oxygen equipment in Respiratory and Lines / Drains / Devices. Each narrative is a structured example to be edited to the actual visit.
