Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Many psychiatric and medical disorders occur more frequently or are exacerbated when sleep patterns and biologic rhythms are disrupted. While the remaining options contain true infor-mation regarding the management of depression that is a result of sleep disruption, they do not effectively address the patient's concern.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C, D, E
The temporal lobe is involved with memory as well as increased sexual focus and altered emotional responses. Personality and intellectual function is not centered in the temporal lobe.
