Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
The nurse should use a CPAP mask for a client with complaints of sleep apnea. A CPAP mask maintains positive pressure within the airway throughout the respiratory cycle. Clients generally wear this type of mask at night to maintain oxygenation when they experience sleep apnea. A nasal catheter is a tube for delivering oxygen that is inserted through the nose into the posterior nasal pharynx. It is used for clients who tend to breathe through the mouth or experience claustrophobia when a mask covers their face. An oxygen tent is a clear plastic enclosure that provides cooled, humidified oxygen, which is used for active toddlers. Transtracheal oxygen is a hollow tube inserted within the trachea to deliver oxygen to clients who require long-term oxygen therapy.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
The most recently approved sleep medication is Ramelteon (Rozerem). This drug is classified as a melatonin receptor agonist and it normalizes sleep cycles by enabling the body's supply of melatonin to naturally promote sleep (Goldsmith, 2007).
