Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
As we age, stage IV sleep diminishes. Many people older than 75 years do not demonstrate any stage IV sleep patterns. Between 2 and 5 of sleep is stage I. Stage II comprises about 50 of normal sleep time. Stage III is a transition between lighter sleep and deeper sleep.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Preoperatively, sedatives will help decrease patient anxiety and facilitate sleep. Sedatives are not long acting enough to affect postoperative pain control. Sedatives do not affect bronchial secretions. Sedatives diminish patient alertness.
