Answer to Question 1

D
The most common intervention when working with a client who has a problem getting to sleep or waking during the night is to instruct the client that no food except warm milk should be consumed within 3 to 4 hours of going to bed. While a light snack may help, a heavy meal will not if gastroesophageal reflux (an occasional physical cause of insomnia) has been diagnosed in individuals who consume large meals within 3 hours of sleeping.

Answer to Question 2

D
