Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
Characteristics of the sleep disturbance include difficulty falling asleep, difficulty staying, asleep, frequent nocturnal awakenings, early morning awakening, and daytime sleepiness. An assessment should include questions related to the presence of these symptoms. Vivid dreams and sleeping medication are also part of a sleep history but are not characteristics of sleep disorders.

Answer to Question 2

D
Slower reflexes and reaction times are a normal age-related change. Wearing glasses and hearing aids should correct the underlying problem and not be a cause for concern in themselves. Confu-sion is not a normal age-related change.
