Answer to Question 1

C
The research published by Hawkins and Polemikos in 2002 indicates that teaching children to use self-hypnosis to manage sleeping problems is both possible and effective. Children can use self-hypnosis to address such sleeping problems as difficulty initiating sleep and dealing with sleep terrors.

Answer to Question 2

A
In nursing practice the use of hypnosis is governed by licensure laws in each state. Nurses who practice hypnotherapy must have formal training in the use of the modality. Most often this training is accompanied by a graduate degree and always by a period of supervised work with a faculty member who is an advanced practitioner.
