A client reports to the nurse that she has been taking barbiturate sleeping pills every night for several months and now wishes to stop taking them. Which statement is the most appropriate advice for the nurse to provide the client?
1. Take the last pill on a Friday night so disrupted sleep can be compensated on the weekend.
2. Continue to take the pills since sleeping without them after such a long time will be difficult and perhaps impossible.
3. Discontinue taking the pills.
4. Continue taking the pills and discuss tapering the dose with the primary care provider
