Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A discrepancy between hours of sleep obtained and hours required leads to sleep deprivation. Adults with less than 6 hours of sleep per night often suffer from chronic sleep deprivation. Common complaints include poor general health, physical and mental distress, limitations in ADLs, depressive or anxious symptoms, and pain. One distracter indicates a problem with sleep hygiene television. The remaining distracters do not indicate a problem.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C, D, E
Priority milieu interventions support restoration of weight and normalization of eating patterns. This requires close supervision of the patient's eating and prevention of exercise, purging, and other activities. There is strict adherence to menus. Observe patients during and after meals to prevent throwing away food or purging. Monitor all trips to the bathroom. Mealtimes are structured, not flexible. Weighing is performed on a regular schedule. Privileges are correlated with weight gain and treatment plan compliance.
