A patient has come to the clinic to discuss the stress she is experiencing because of failing two exams at school.

  C) I overreacted; surely together we can figure out something for me to do.

Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D, E
It is postulated that sundown syndrome is caused by deterioration of the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus. This interferes with the major pacemaker of circadian rhythms. One strategy to ameliorate it is to provide at least minimal exposure to direct sunlight each day to reset circadian rhythm. The other interventions are safe and effective.
