Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

While the melanocytes in darker skin offer increased protection, the risk for skin cancer remains and sunscreen should be worn. The other client responses are correct.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, C, E

A comfortable room temperature will promote sleep. Alcohol interferes with REM sleep and should be consumed well before bedtime. Nicotine is a stimulant and may prevent the client from falling asleep. Exercise within a few hours of 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.
