Answer to Question 1

Answer: A, C, E

Alcohol interferes with REM sleep, and its consumption should be limited to well before bedtime. A comfortable room temperature will promote sleep. Nicotine is a stimulant and may prevent the client from falling asleep. Exercise close to bedtime acts as a stimulant and can cause the client to be unable to sleep. Tea contains caffeine, which is a stimulant. The nurse could suggest non-caffeinated tea before bedtime unless this causes the client to wake during the night to urinate.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, B, C, D

High caffeine consumption is associated with a variety of teen health issues like insomnia, which can lead to sleep deprivation. Sleep deprivation may cause the adolescent to have trouble waking in the morning for school. Other symptoms include irritability, anxiety, and problems associated with attention, memory, and decision making. Sports participation is not correlated to sleep deprivation.
