Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A A sleep history is not brief and assesses more than sleep quality.
B A sleep monitor is not necessarily used to measure sleep quality, and it is not brief.
C One effective brief method for assessing sleep quality is the use of a visual analogue scale.
D A sleep questionnaire diary is not brief and assesses more than just sleep quality.

Answer to Question 2

C
Induction of regional anesthesia results in loss of sensation in an area of the body. The peripheral nerve block influences the portion of sensory pathways that are anesthetized in the targeted area of the body. Decreased pulse, toes cool to touch, and cyanosis are indications of decreased blood flow and are not expected findings. Reports of pain the in the left foot may indicate that the block is not working or is subsiding and is not an expected finding in the immediate postoperative period.
