Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Routines are important, especially when preparing the body to sleep. Therefore, establishing and maintaining a regular time for bedtime and awakening is appropriate. Clients with insomnia should be counseled not to eat anything heavy for several hours before retiring. Spicy foods, alcohol, and caffeine should be avoided. Additionally, exercise promotes sleep, but regular exercise should be planned for 3 hours before bedtime.

Ans: B, C
Manifestations of cocaine overdose include cardiac dysrhythmias or arrest, increased or reduced blood pressure, respiratory depression, chest pain, vomiting, seizures, psychosis, confusion, dyskinesia, dystonia, and coma. Euphoria, paranoia, and insomnia are effects of cocaine.
