Answer to Question 1

A, B, D, E
These four criteria must be present for an act of a health care provider to be considered negligent. Intent to harm would be considered a criminal action rather than an action of negligence.

Answer to Question 2

A
The first step in the treatment of sleep disorders is to teach prevention. Giving the client hypnotics is a last resort because these substances can be habit forming and/or may affect the quality of sleep; evaluating sleeping patterns is a diagnostic tool; and teaching clients to retire early may not be feasible.
