Answer to Question 1

2. Ask the client if there is anything that she needs at this time.

Rationale:
The nurse needs to maintain a nonjudgmental attitude when caring for victims of abuse and their family members. The nurse should ask the client if there is anything that she needs at this time. The nurse should not refuse to let the husband visit unless it is the client's wish to do so. The nurse should not contact security or the police.

Answer to Question 2

B
Hypersomnia is an alteration in sleep pattern characterized by excessive sleep, especially in the daytime. Narcolepsy is sudden uncontrollable urges to fall asleep during the daytime. Sleep apnea refers to periods of sleep during which airflow stops for 10 seconds or more. Sleep paralysis is the experience of waking from sleep and being unable to move, speak, or cry out.
