Answer to Question 1

D
Sleep apnea is characterized by periodic cessation of breathing during sleep, accompanied by loud snoring. The sleeper is unaware of these episodes, which recur hundreds of times during the night; at the conclusion of one cycle, another one starts.

Answer to Question 2

D
A nurse can assist the client who has insomnia by reviewing sleep habits and usual sleep patterns, helping the client identify potential sources of sleep disruption (e.g., work pressures, family concerns, environmental factors), and modifying the causative factor(s). Relaxation techniques prior to bedtime may alleviate stress and allow the client to relax.
