Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Insomnia and depressive disorders often coincide. In fact, disturbed sleep and depression share common underlying pathophysiology. Insomnia and hypersomnia are part of the diagnostic criteria for major depression (DSM-IV-TR), but insomnia is more common.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
When clients are suspected of having primary sleep disorders, they need referral to specialized sleep centers for evaluation. These centers, usually staffed by interdisciplinary teams of sleep specialists, administer thorough sleep evaluations and specialized testing, including nocturnal polysomnography (NPSG). NPSG uses continuous monitoring of at least one channel of electroencephalogra phy (EEG) to monitor brain waves, electro-oculography (EOG) to monitor eye movements, and chin electromyography (EMG). Multiple sleep latency testing (MSLT) is a procedure that determines the extent of daytime sleepiness by evaluating how long it takes clients to fall asleep during a series of daytime naps.
