Answer to Question 1

A
Many older adults now seek education about health promotion and management of their illness. The nurse can support older adults by teaching self-care management in these areas. The other actions are also valued, but learning how to control symptoms gives patients the feeling of ac-complishment.

In stage 4 of non-REM sleep, the person needs vigorous stimulation to be awakened. In stage 1, the person is awakened easily, as in stage 2 . Stage 3 requires moderate stimulation.
