Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, D, E
During NREM sleep, the phases of sleep in which REM sleep does not occur, growth hormone is released to repair epithelial and brain cells, cell division for skin and bone marrow renewal occurs, and energy is conserved. Slow scanning eye movements do not occur in either REM or NREM. Dreaming occurs in REM.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, D, E
SIDS is the second most common cause of death among infants 1 to 12 months old. The most important modifiable SIDS risk factor appears to be prone sleeping. The etiology remains largely unknown. Risk factors include the infant's sleeping on the stomach and being exposed to cigarette smoke. SIDS was first formally defined in 1969 as the sudden unexpected death of an infant younger than 1 year that remains unexplained after a thorough postmortem investigation.
