During a yearly physical, a 52-year-old male client mentions that his wife frequently complains about his snoring. During the physical exam, the nurse notes that his neck size is 18 inches, his soft palate and uvula are reddened and swollen, and he is overweight. What is the most appropriate nursing intervention for the nurse to recommend to this client?

1. Recommend that he and his wife sleep in separate bedrooms so that his snoring does not disturb his wife.

 2. Refer him to a dietitian for a weight loss program.

3. Caution him not to drink or take sleeping pills since they may make his snoring worse.

4. Refer him to a sleep disorders center for evaluation and treatment of his symptoms.
